Me too, it would be better in someone else's snow though.

I was finally able to get it out of the shop and into the houses garage today. It's nice to have one less boat anchor in the shop.

This junk effortlessly passed emissions today without a cat again. I sold my truck yesterday so it's back to daily status for awhile.

I bought this 14" dry cut metal saw. Cuts amazing.
Dimple dies and hole punches for hydraulic ram
Fun with dimple dies.
Making some strut bars.

That front filler plate looks pretty cool! How deep are the dimples? The build thread was a fun read too and I kind of want one of those exhausts... the bosal that came with the car seems to be a consumable part.

Not if you're smarter than the holes. Verdict is still out on whether I am or not.

What should I do to the car next....
Lift it and go rally, leave it to continue rotting in my driveway, sell it for scrap? Let's hear the options.

I weighed the car on my local truck scale, it said 2800lbs. The car feels like a slow rocket.
