    I would have just destroyed fiberglass fenders anyway.

    I won't be doing 70 very often without stiffening up the ORI's. I could tell that a panic swerve would have ended up with me on my lid. :rofl:

    Quit your day job and work on your rig full time for 4 months and you'll have her finished. :D

    Sounds like you are on track! My planned 3month SAS took about as long as yours. It's all that little bullshit that takes up so much time, like 8hrs to build some brackets, or flat out not wanting to work on it for a day or two.

    :wave: It's too bad I didn't have cell reception out there. It would have been nice to meet up with a few more folks.

    She is a bit large though. :rofl:

    :thumbsup:

    I have a few pics, but mostly posing shots trying to get an angle for a good patch. :D

    I have no idea how so many people on insta were able to upload to their story while the race was going on while at the same time so many people saying cell reception sucked.

    Can't wait to see what kind of patch you come up with. Going to have to get one for sure!

    Verizon had service over about 70% of the area and at&t had about 10% coverage, so the photos you where seeing where from verizon customers. And if you paid the $500 for the week you could get wifi from hammertown.

    Looks great all around. I really like how your front fenders came out. I don't think I've ever seen another taco with that much cutout. It doesn't look like a hack job at all though. Can't wait to see more.

    Thanks bud.

    You'll be seeing a bit more fab here shortly. I ordered PRP Premiere seats while at KOH, so the cage and seats will be going in next.
