LS swap, turbo , fuel cell , tubbed now too ? Any other plans ? Full front end swap, I did most of the fuel system last night, Disc brakes on all four, tubbed with 4link and ford 9", interior and gauges, wiring, cage at some point, wheelie bars, parachute, electronic boost control. Crap like that. ---

I need to: Make brake lines Wiring Interior stuff, gauges, order a steering wheel setup(suggestions?) Measure and have driveshaft made Final assembly? - - - Updated - - - I can add a few pics that arent all that interesting but here ya go! This came in. I am running power brakes on this build.
