Very sharp work your doing; looking forward to seeing more progress reports. I have to omit those big back windows are the way to go in my opinion.
Attention to detail is awesome...
Keep up the good work.

Yes sir, 98 explorer. I did have to straighten the ends, they bend down. Hope I didn't ruin the bar by heating it. I still have to come up with some end links. I think I will use a pair of Heims joints on a short connector.

Nice work, I'm sure the rest of the truck look as good as the chassis. Keep up the great work.

I think your truck is Killer! The tucked bumpers, sectioned hood, molded grill, wow!
Whats with the F-1 in the back ground and the coupe on the roof? is this your shop?
