I haven't done much to it lately, other then drive it around the block or to a friends house occasionally. I got tired of looking at the interior out so I through it in. Yet, it has to come out again to paint the door jams.
I took the grandson who's 9 for ride. The first time hitting passing gear I was suprised and so was he. It pulls pretty nice

 

I have just about an hour on the engine now. I haven't really seen what it will do yet. It rides pretty dam good even thought I'm still static up front.

2" body drop, 97 Chevy 4.3 Vortec V6 with a TH-350. with 18s.

Under Construction

The pic on the right, I narrowed a Ford Explorer 8.8" 3:73 traction lock rear end with 11" disc brakes

The Watts Linkage I built here at home. Steel is what I do for a living, so this is my niche. This pic shows it not done but you get the idea. 

Here I have made stiffeners for the 4 link and also I am showing the pads for the air bags that I mounted on the 4 link. On the right is the cantilever for the shocks. I will NOT notch the frame. I think its just plain non-sense cutting the frame and box for shocks. No it will not lay frame but it's close enough for me. I'm about handling and the ride

I have about 9" of travel and I have 0 side movement,
The frame is up.                                        The frame is down.

Nothing is above the bottom of the box, So I will not cut no stinking hole in my box. Mitsubishi called this a truck so it remains a 100% truck.
Besides, with holes in the bottom of the truck, shit will fall out. (Ha ha)

Complete Mustang ll/Pinto Independent Front Suspension with 11" front disc.

Yes, it is a pinto IFS. Mustang also used it            9" brakes compared to 11"

I found this pic. Who in the right mind would spend $4500 for this?

Up side down. My parts are not billet, and I don't really care

A picture is worth a thousand words

Hopefully I'll get the Cobalt Red on soon.(old pic,still has leaf springs)

PPG paints. Lucky Lee the original owner, a good friend. 3 coats, wet sanded and buffed.

Off the stands setting on the bump stops, 5-1/2" frame to ground.
