Thanks!

I just looked and for some reason I guess I didn't take one.

So much for a build thread, eh? On my birthday, Sept '06 we had a huge storm and it ripped the tarps off my pop up garage and my tools got wet, and work got ruined and I was pretty discouraged at that point and gave up. That summer I was working on the body and had finished fixing the sagging front bumper, and created new rocker panels out of MDF...which got soaked(MDF & water=disaster).

Anyway, this past spring I bought an '88 cradle so I won't have to worry about bump steer so much with the air bags now(or someday). Home Cheapo had a sale on wood and this week I'm covering the pop-up garage with wood so I can actually heat it up some and work on the car this winter.

Luckily the dash plug was salvagable and will be fitted with a different LCD screen. I finished the center console and it's waiting for fiberglassing. I've got door panel blanks made but I need to work on the exterior first because I'm changing the body lines a bit.

seriously tho, car looks sweet.

Thanks for the compliment....as for the air cleaner...
I had to make room for the car's custom computer system programmed Electromotive TEC-II ECM, which I moved from it's original location to the stock air cleaner spot to make room for the Eaton supercharger(future) on the self built 3400.

Joe, the n00b

Let me know when you start bonding you fenders to your hood, I'm willing to help if you need it on any stage of your projcet. That way I can check out your ride with the air suspension. How's the 88 cradle project coming along? Are the measurements dead on?
