Wow! If it didn’t tear anything up it’ll be worth it for the bragging rights.

Beat the hell out of my brand new exhaust, rear pinion needs replaced. Surely could have been worse. Pisses me off, but it is a fairly easy fix. Just have to throw dollars at it. That's the crappy part. Ugh, I'm tired of spending money LOL

Thank you. The QA1 setup is awesome!
I’m also getting some 20” rallies. I think that will make it look better.

Very Nice! You did an excellent job!

Those belts need restored also. Here’s a set in Buckskin, before & after. These got new webbing.

Very cool!!... It needs white letters to finish off the look. I love how the top of the rim is at the bottom of the fenders... Look's great.

Dropped off the site for a bit. Cool to come back and see all the work you've done. I like how you've done some stock-themed tie-ins. I hope you got to get out and enjoy it over the summer.

Thank you! Yes, I have been able to enjoy it here and there. This winter I am installing a better torque converter and I think I will redo the seat.
