Man o man this has been boring we've been waiting on money but hopefully we will get started on it full steam ahead next week just trying to find axles has been difficult for reasonable and not to far away from us but getting closer to having all the parts anyway will hopefully have some more pics here shortly as we get to work on it

Well this hole build took a slight turn buts coming together pretty quick all in all we got motor resealed and installed in new frame but upon reseal we found out that someone had rebuilt turbo but busted back two turbo bolts that go into the center cartridge and busted it and the turbo exhaust housing so we just put the e99 turbo setup we had on it for free and did our e fuel setup and installed new clutch and installed transmission to and tcase also the also got the cab on it to now where working on core support repair and sanding where getting close
