    Jared, Scott is looking for a pitman arm for a F-100 box that's in his coupe.
    Eastcoast, she is all blown apart and getting finish welded, shouldn't be too long now.

    Looking great Joe, can't wait to see it coming back together. I'm finally bringing mine back to the shop to finish it up. We are going to have some fun this season.

    Wow! Awesome Job Joe, Its coming out so nice. I am excited to see it. I've been working on the drum issue without much help from the machine shop, he basically only knows that its set for a car or for the truck, didn't have much info to offer. If you need my backing plates and/or drums, let me know. Anything I can do to help out.
