A huge thank you goes out to Keith and Tony Sato for taking time out of their own projects to help finish mine up so I can enjoy it. Keith and Tony are probably some of the most under rated fabbers/mechanics involved with our sport. Seats are mounted up, I bought some Sparcos after reading all of the threads from UPR in AZ whom is also one of our advertisers, it made a ton more room for the third person and my seat is back about 3 more inches so I can stretch out, the bedsides are finally all mounted and look good. It goes to paint on Monday where my longtime friend and class 8 racer(Toyota Tundra) Cory Susag will get this bad boy ready for the expo. The only thing it wont have at the expo are the mini fenders for the front clip. Those still need to be made as the budget has runneth over and I dont need them to drive it.

Well we have made some progress, got it painted, got wheels and tires mounted up. Still some to go though. We need to mount the mini fenders, paint graphics, install new front coils(softer rate) and then test. All in due time. I am in no hurry. Its super close.

I did not, this is a really slow time of year for my business so the last couple of items left to finish will have to wait until after the first of the year.

what is the advantage of those shifters that you have versus just a floor shifter? and what are they called? :)

they are made by art carr and winters. they are a gate style shifter, they make it easy to find the gear you want, especially if you are running a manual valve body tranny. any it is harder to pop it out of gear when bouncing through the rough stuff.
