this is pretty much how it sits today, just got the limiting straps in and harnesses, now we're waiting on the front drive shaft and fuel cell components, along with having the hydraulic lines and brake lines run so we can move forward...appreciate all the comments so far
...it's been a LONG road but we're almost there, I'll keep the updates coming as I get 'em |
