      Update! 6/16/13

      UPDATE 6/16/13

      Here's an update of the progress we've made over this weekend.

      Finally all the welding is complete, here were the fronts in the making

      2013-06-14 13.37.30

      Cleaned them up, for paint. Masked off the pistons and hubs.

      I went with Black, wanted to keep it as stock looking as possible. The finally product after a few coats of paint.

      Is something missing?

      Reinstalled the Bags and prepped them for then next step. The top hats need to be cut to size so that's currently in progress.

      Good news is the rears are actually done! Cut. Welded. and waiting for some Scrape.

      First the nipples for the old springs had to go. Then a hole straight through making sure the offset is correct because the CV boots get pretty close to the bag.

      Then my buddy Shaun started the rear top mounts.

      Of course I wouldn't dare leave all that metal exposed.

        I like the wheels. Filled and redrilled I guess? Looks quality.

            Correct, the entire bore and lugs were filled. Then the center bore was cut to spec along with the 4x100. They are done pretty nicely, couple blemishes here and there but no problems with the overall strength regarding the redrill.

              Update! 7/9/13

              Ive been waiting way too long in between updates but this time.... I got the goods

              So, when I last left you guys I was in the process of mocking up all the suspension parts and welding. With that portion completed it was time to install the components and get this bagged b*tch on the road.

              Here is the front bags installed and the airlines connected to the bulk head PTCs.

              Finally mounted the wheels. Also in the process of ordering spacers which will follow fender rolling.

                First set of photos of vehicle on the road

                I couldn't have this thing rolling around the streets of New York without taking some pictures. Here is a few Urban shots after I cleaned her up. Enjoy.
