Tonight was a lot of grinding and finish welding. We did a frame tuck on the front to clean it up a little. I like it a lot.

I dont have any action pics of it yet but I have taken it out wheelin twice since the basic build. It works great but I just needed to get the rest of the finishing touches done before paint. we are painting it next week. The next event Im going to is Feb 3rd.

The orange car had a 3 inch calmini lift that was raised 2 inches by cutting the coil cups off the frame and lowering them. Its had some bad reactions offroad so I lenghtened the lower arms by 16 inches.
