Another awesome weekend with the guys at the Swagger shop.

To see all the guys working together on this project... the brainstorming, the idea tossing, the teamwork involved... you truly have to see it to believe it.

I owe the Swagger shop a visit. I have been scrambling to get ready for my own show event on Saturday, so hopefully after this weekend I can get there.

mocked up the 6 link but i think the dog bone is too long so ill have to lengthen the lift bar and shorten the dogbone



also note nothing is welded in so it looks very crooked







pics of the trans tunnel finished by Chris Brownie & Nate dog f=and the firewall rebuild to make room for the turbo

so Greg came down Friday and we got to work finishing the 6 link rear suspension

as of Sat night we got everything tacked into place and all bars are tacked up





we would have finished the passengers side but i misplaced a axle tab

so today we went into clean up mode



alot more parts on the ground then it looks but that is a f250 in pieces on the ground in front of my shop (minus what is upstairs)



good news is we found the tab
