you know what, i didnt. at the last second my plans changed so i had to back out. Ill see if i can find you a bumper though.

Also you think you can PM how much you spent on the body work with your friend? I could always ship my car out there. Its mad expensive here.
Thanks

pm sent... keep in mind that your could cost more or less. Depends on what he finds when its down to bare metal, or if you even want to take it down that far... but i can tell you that my guy is very good and more than fair on the prices he charges for the quality of work he does!!!

got me thinking again. maybe this 6speed is a good match to my 4.44 or 4.78. I switched back to a 3.90 as I hated the freeway speed. its like having a governor.

Your rims are way too wide. it will look better if you stagger them with 7.5 in front and 8" in rear. If not, you will need buy my extra set of flares (j/k Islandsnow)
