Well, the car will be rolling this weekend. So, technically all I need is a driveshaft and fuel cell and I'm ready. Who needs tubs and tin work? Just need to wear a helmet to dodge the rocks.

4 Link is welded in and the car is rolling!

In order to get the car slammed, I had to raise the shock mounts higher than expected. I still need to box those in but everything else is done.
