Ok just a little update. Its been super hot out here but I have managed to finish about 80% of the welding on the pan. Just a few more odds and ends to finish up and then its time to coat. I also picked up the last two things that I needed for the body (steering column and tube, and rear engine shelf. Decklid just needs to be signed for from Fedex) to get it ready for paint and body. I dont have any pics, but should have some soon. :thumbs: So close yet so far :roll:

Yes I did a 2" trans raise. I probably dont need the mid mount, but I figured if I ever went with a hot setup, it may come in handy.
Yes that is one of the new lids. It is very nice. Great quality ;)
