Little by little.......

Thanks scabber, kinda hard to stay motivated when you're tight on build funds. But you're right there is always something you can do that's free, too bad it's not the fun stuff. Thanks for stoking the fires again. On that note, say bye bye to the brown.

Wish I could say after but I think this is going to take a while. I bought one of the cheap hf blast guns but the baking soda is just not cutting it. Anybody know if its safe to use something else? And if so what will cut through the years of crap a little faster?

I got my dampers back from Hugh's today with the lowering spacers installed! :D I shipped them out last Monday and they are back already. That's some great service. Looks like the front end can get put back together and go back on this weekend.:thumbsup:

I beg to differ.

OoooooooOooooooooohhh......shiiinnneeeyyyy.

The UPS driver is becoming my new best friend.

I'm with you on that hellbent, I might go a little thinner but I still want to have some comfort on longer trips. And still kind of have a stock look to it. What part of Ohio are you in? I grew up around Columbus. Still have family there, so I'm shooting for a trip up in August to see the build...
