I run his First set of hubs, no problems at all. I did drop ship new rotors to him. They stop my V-8luv without any issues.

My dad will be able to get back on the hubs here soon. Get them knocked out and to Raland then go from there on pricing.

Been driving the luv daily the past few days because the weather has been awesome. No problems whatsoever *knocks on wood*. Guys at school thought it was perfect for break time.

Put the inner fender/core support on. Bolt on fenders and everything else. I took it off in one piece once and it was a major hassle. I completely disassembled the front end in 30 minutes by myself.

Got a little more done today. Need to fill some spots on the core support, then cut a few strips of sheetmetal to overlap the joint where the inners meet up by the firewall. The new clip's cuts were not straight like mine so i need something to hide that. Drilled out the spot welds for the battery indention and whipped up a filler piece for it.

Took the clip to my dads work earlier and got the majority of it sandblasted. The cabinet was only 2" wider then the clip so I had a hell of a time getting to some of the spots as is. SO after two hours of blasting I called it quits. A couple spots have some paint left, but it can be hit with a wire wheel.

Thanks. I'm itching to get it back together. Haven't drove it in a while. Weather is getting better so it will be enjoyable to drive. Me and my dad have had a few cars we have been working on for a co worker and the co workers brother. So i haven't had a whole lot of time to get the rest of it welded up.

Getting closer, I have everything welded up and ground down except the two strips by the firewall. Putting everything back together now to make sure everything is fitting like it should. Need to hole saw a couple holes for wiring, and make a bracket for horns to bolt to. After that gonna put a little filler on a few areas to smooth it out, and then bedline it.
