I'm hoping my buddy has a chance to post his pictures of the underbody soon, but until then I went ahead and took a few shots of my own. Nothing special, but I'll get them up tomorrow.

Thank you! I do plan on driving it though 
. I only put around 1000 or so miles on it every year prior to all this work so I'm not too worried about messing things up.
Thanks Kai! You know I couldn't do that lol. After nearly 5 years of waiting I think the 7 deserves to be driven.

Thank you sir! Definitely do the trans and diff, if you can deal with the hassle. It's a bit of hassle, but after doing all my other parts it was well worth it to finish it off right IMO. I think the "build thread" subforum is a great idea. I don't post much, but I try following build threads as much possible. Definitely some interesting builds out there. I'm just a bit lazy in terms of documenting. I take plenty of pictures, but don't have the time to follow-up with posting.

Thank you Andrew! I plan on taking/posting more pictures as work progresses. Right now, the entire rear-end has been assembled and bolted up. Also went ahead and painted the axles, hubs, and all misc. brackets and bolts so that everything compliments the powdercoating well. Things are coming along great. I expect the underbody work to be completed *hopefully* sometime this week.

UPDATE: Finished the install of the entire suspension/underbody. No time for pictures yet, but perhaps this weekend I'll get around to it. Also, the motor should be on its way back to me so I'm very excited to finally have it installed and move on to fabrication work.
Sooo close...
