    Well the 250 is out, pulled the tranny for a clean up and paint.
    cut the shock towers and cut 3/16 steel to replace. A friend of mine has a plasma cutter and cut the plate to fit contor of towers. Everyone should have a plasma, sweet tool,saved alot of work. There will be very minimal grinding after the weld in. We did take pics along the way and Ill post them tonite. Right now were heading to the shop to weld. I also have a friend who is certified and can weld with the best of em. God thank you for my friend and this forum! Thanks guy pics later.

    Sorry I couldn't get out to help. I didn't realize I had to work untill 5:00. I can't wait to see the shocktowers in person. When do you think you'll be putting in the motor?

    Lookin like Sat if everything goes well. Waiting on a shifter we bought from another member but it should be here by then. mod looks really good /strong. painter is going to mix for engine bay and hpeful the bay will be painted this week. It should be fun assembling a clean build.
    Should be very minamal grease if any.
