The "tire iron" is my thin wall stainless high psi p/s line. I need buy a new front bumper because this setup allows Fitment for an uncut bumper. I have pics of a beautiful header I built over the weekend. Customer didn't want it coated so I gave all the tubing a nice brushed satin finish. It really did come out ****!

Im stoked but then again im not. Havent driven the vehicle in months so at this point I could "almost" care less if its running or not, or care for even owning it lol. We'll see what happens once the vehicle is running. Ive had some kw v3's sitting here for months that need installing as well. Have ground control camber plates on them, linear spring conversion on the rear and upgraded spring rates all the way around. So the car should be fairly ready for fun this summer. I also got a diesel truck and am searching for a trailer right now to tow it with.

But I could turn around in a month and sell it for whatever just to get rid of itm who knows

Finish the damn thing and drive it before you over think it!! Selling it at this point will be a total waste, and a loss as well with all the cutting. And then there are the smog issues...

Do we all need to come over and go NASCAR pit crew on this thing to get it done so you don't sell it? That would be a shame to see all your hard work go down the tube.
