UPDATE!
Feb 26th
Well a fair amount of time has passed since the last update but plenty of work has been done. The motor is in and is ready to be fired. The front has been lowered by flipping the uprights and adding 1" blocks.
Today the rear was finished with the addition of an s10 rear and 3.5" dearched springs and 4" blocks. Ross pulled it off the jack stands and it fell right down to the snubbers.
