Sounds cool, Luv !! Soooo.... Have you decided on wheels yet ? What do you plan on doing with GQ's chassis once you take the body off?

I kinda figured that's what you had planned for that frame. It will be nice, that's for sure. What color are you going with?

I'm watching Craig. You know you can go with a 6" drop spring for the rear with the blocks and bolt-in c-notch. That's what is in the stepside right now, and it rides good. You're going to need all the drop you can get with those HUGE wheels you have planned for it.

Traded for and Purchased a few more parts at the
Board Meet this past weekend. Also sold my front
clip and have 2/3 of the 68 clip to go back on it. I
have pay'd a lil to the trans builder for parts that
he will need, & I almost have my frame stripped.
