    Good luck on getting everything finished in time, its the small jobs at the end that always seem to eat up the time.

    Well it's running but didn't have it finished for retro-rides. I still have to weld floor, modify roll cage, rear n/s wheel bearing, o/s/r trailing arm bearings and a few wires still to connect. Look at indicators and as not working. Going to repaint rear subframe, poly bushes and both trailing arm bearings
