stripped body off frame and sent to be sand blasted





frame back from the sand blasting

motor getting mocked in



351w block bored and stroked to 418 with 200 shot pro fogger nitrous system



mohawking the 2.5ton housings







all welded up ready for primer





setting ride height and started building cradle for links to mount to
