Good news is it looks like I will be in town for a while now with no big long trips in the future so progress should stay fairly steady to the end now

Today me and nolan put the K member back in along with the new front suspension and brakes, put the wheels and tires on and set it down..... SWEET MOTHER OF GOD I could not be happier! once the windows go back in (tinted) and all the rest of the trim I think it is going to be killer!

I just HAD to stick one of the door panels on to see how it looked, Nolan covered the LSX logos in carbon fiber to carry the theme over. Everything is still dusty but I think it will look killerwhen its all done!

Now its time to THRASH on this thing!!!! body still needs a wet sand and pollish when its all done then the pin stripe to break up the two colors but overall I could not be happier with the way this thing is coming out and would just like to once again say a huge thanks to a few people:

My loving and supportive girlfriend Leanne
Nolan .... well its obvious no description is needed
My Family for having faith in me and wanting to help me see my goals not only met but blown away!
Flyin Ryan Bell for always taking care of my engines and making sure I can make enough power to meet our goals and be DEAD reliable while doing it!
Jordan/James/Max/Steve/Jason and all the rest of the HPS/Wrecking crew for always supporting me and helping out in anyway they can at all times!
Jim Bell for all his support and help on parts,deals and advice.
Stefan @Performance Fuel Injection for making sure it gets the fuel it needs!
Randy @ Pro stock for taking care of all the engine maching/balancing duties on all my mills.
Bruce @ Impact coatings for making sure I will look GOOD and all my stuff will last without any issues after all the hard work is done.

I am sure there is many many more and if I forgot anyone I appologize .
