Have you fired it up yet? Does the exhaust vibrate on any tin? Keep up the great work.

So the night show is still the debut date?

it was just too close for my confort so i took the body of the car loose and im going to raise it .5000 or so in the back to give it more clearance...my father came over today and measured the pieces i need and is going to have some polimer bushings made to fit where the og ones did to give it a little height...once i raised it everything fit nice...now i have to refit the tin...
