Skip wow looking good the 9" rear all powder coated will be great...love the air ride setup did ray get back to you on the shocks??bhope ur back feels better if u need some help ask away.....
thanks bro, ray sent me a text, but after I responded back, I havent gotten another response yet, I think he was under the impression that i could bring the car in and let him do some of the fab work, when all i need is parts...

on a side note, I was thinking about notching the front frame area, where I need to add the shocks in, if it will be safe and sound, imma do it, then box it in... if not, I may need to fork over the money for some money for front ridetech shockwaves... i may leave that till last after the engine and transmission is in...

should be picking up my housing tom morning and then adj the backlash and putting it back together with the rear brake kit brackets and hardware...
 
Man bro that looks good!!! I just got in town, can't wait to stop by to check out all the progress and hopefully learn a thing or two about setting backlash. If I was thinking I could have brought my 12 bolt rear housing to get that special treatment. Maybe next time 8)
