 Since these pictures were taken, I have HAD TO replace the following:

• Steering system (complete replacement)
• Suspension system (complete replacement)
• Brakes (complete replacement)
• All wiring (complete replacement)
• Stereo system and setup
• Rear end
• Drive Shaft
• Interior (Door panels, kick panels, carpet, console, seat belts and seat)
• Lights (complete replacement)
• Reworked engine (and repositioned in the frame)
  
• Replaced the supercharger (twice)
• Cooling system (complete replacement)
  
• Ignition system (complete replacement)
• motor mounts (complete replacement)
• Door latches and strikers and re-align the doors
  
• Repainted engine compartment
• Re-insulated the cab
• AC system (complete replacement)
• Weatherstripping (complete replacement)
• Starter (complete replacement)
• Flywheel (complete replacement)
• Oil Pan (complete replacement)
• (complete replacement)Power windows
• Glass
• Gaskets (complete replacement)
• Hoses (complete replacement)
• All welding redone

Now it "appears" that the build in these pictures was being done correctly doesn't it? Well, unknown to me at the time, most of it was not. I had to have nearly EVERYTHING done over because the original installer did not have the necessary expertise (in many areas) that the PROFESSIONALS that I hired later did. As a result, I had to pay for the overhaul TWICE.

Lesson to be learned...?

• Hire professionals that are CERTIFIED!
• Inspect their work CLOSELY before you commit
• Hire a pro to monitor the work as it is being done
  
• Get everything IN WRITING before you ever start on the project

It will cost you more up front but TRUST ME, you'll save a mountain of money in the long run!

Back to the original build pics now...

Here is where I started:
