I have to shorten my tie rod, get a new drag link fabricated and have my fuel cell modified so the sump is in the middle instead of the driver side and install a firewall between the passenger compartment and the back where the fule cell is.

Well, I finally started the first steps towards getting my new suspension installed. I got the rear axle removed (so I can regear it and install the locker easier) and most of the rear suspension out. Hoping to have everything done in about a week or so (working a few hours after work each night and weekend)

Didn't know it until I woke up this morning and tried to go to work, but I had to replace the starter before I go. :)
It had been acting wierd all week, I thought it was the battery. I was wrong.
