You dont have the friend request icon on ur profile but i sent you a msg might have to log in on the net to see it instead of a app

 

Well i figueed i would let everyone know i drove the elc yesterday did okay shifter is junk but other than that it did good

 

Great news to hear! Glad for ya that it's moving forward.

 

Thanks chevydude unfortunately im gonna have to bag it in order to drive it and keep it that low so more money

 

I got a 205 70 under the front on a 15 7 rally and im gonna raise it up about 1 1/2 to 2 inchesfor clearance but not much progress lately

 

I haven't made any updates on here changed phones so just downloaded the app I have bagged the car blasted it started patch panels ordered the glass and rubber parts and work on it as time allows
