Thanks for the comments! Yes it is very exciting watching this come together from what it was 6 months ago. I'm learning a lot in the process that's for sure.

Btw, Reed thanks again for all of the help via e-mail on the front suspension! I found that using a 9/16" -18 tap fixes the issue of the extenders not wanting to thread correctly on the steering rack...

Hey Matt,
Your Chassis Engineering front end looks very sharp! Is that one of those bolt on ones? That's a nice route to go. I'm partial to the small window cabs as well - it will look great! Keep up the momentum...

Please spank the Aggies this year when you play them in football - we've heard about enough of Johnny Manziel.
