Pipes welded. Sharkwerks pipes added.

Dundon Harmonic balancer going on.

Guards diff on the way thanks to Sharkwerks. New tires going on.

Next clear bra rockers and rear areas as front is done.

Getting ready for the Smokies

Now just have to get out and drive this thing.

Can't wait to see it in person at Smokies. What Diff did you go with? rebuild kit for factory housing or the Club unit? 40/60 split?
