Oh man the dog too? Sorry for your split up. Those always turn out ugly. Like Allen said, I hope this year turns around for you. Keep your head up.

This just sounds like a better reason for me to bring the beer. Also, why is the e-shaft cut like that, I've never seen one like that?

I threw all that **** away. Threw the dash away, threw the seats away, threw the engine and rear end away, threw all the wiring away, all the interior pcs. Just threw all that **** away. Kept the tranny though, hahah. I put it in a Datsun where it would do more good hahahhaha.

Holy **** my car has frame rails! Finally some progress. The floor and tunnel are cut out, frame rails connecting the back to the factory front is installed. Strut tower plates are formed so they can be connected to the cage. I'm excited. After almost a year I finally have some progress!
