Sounds like you're making good progress.

Where you able to find some good doors locally or what?

I want to start making shackles for the front next week and maybe make new front leaf spring mounts that sit down a little lower. trust me i hate the front suspension as much as you guys do. we are going to coil the rear late this summer we will do a radius arm type steup i think.
