You're killing me with the massive pictures. You can re-size them for free at www.picnik.com. You can also go back and edit the attached files on older posts.

Yes, but they take longer to load. If they're going to be viewed in a smaller size, we might as well save time and upload them in a smaller size.

Well the time has come. Currently Mark is working on my buckets and the coil over hardware has arrived at his shop. Hopefully this weekend I'll have all the parts. Will post pics when I get it all.
Also, I bought a derale trans pan with the cooling rods, has anyone tried them? Also, I bought a trans cooler and a trans temp guage. I was thinking that I should place the guage where the trans pushed the fluid to the coolers or after? Any help would be awesome.

Thanks Andy! I love it. Pretty straight forward no secrets really except that you can weld the supports for the shock mounts on the radius arm backwards and the shock will not fit.... That was fuuun fixing.

Alright so I got to thinking, where is everyone putting their canisters? I have no clue where to mount the can that comes off the smog pump and the few vacuum canisters. Can I get some input please?

So last week I got the front finished except for straps and took it out last weekend. What can I say, Mark you did an amazing job with that kit! Scared my buddy and the fioncee loves it. As for me its a given. I can't believe I didn't go c/o before! I'll post some pics later, its a bit embarrassing with the stock bumper.

Ok so after driving it the past week I've come across a few questions. First, I've noticed that when I turn left I hear a squeaking out of the right tire. Maybe the passenger side brake? And then I need to find a way to hook up my trans cooler fan to a wire that is only hot when the key is on. Can someone help with this?

Look for a red wire from your ignition switch.
