rear bump stop mounts, have 1/2 inch of clearance between links and bottom of fuel cell

Image

Image

put my efi back on the motor to see how my intake was going to fit. will be able to run it right back into the dash area but will need a small cowl on the hood to cover it

Image

welded all my links and link brackets up and was able to take the buggy off jack stands and roll it around at full bump

finished up the front drive shaft. its all 1410 ujoints so will be nice and beefy

Image

can now really see how much of a clearance issue i have with the header, still think i can cut the header back and make it work

Image

rear shaft is all girth no length as its 1480 joints and 3.5 tubing but like 2 feet long
