Thank you very much. The only way I got what I have here is my last deployment to Iraq. I went over my budget a little but it was worth every penny.

I love this build. You did it yourself, it looks great and it's full of information. One of these days, it will come in handy when I drop an LS motor into my truck, but that may be a ways off

How bad was it to remove the core support? It looks like the bolts are easy to get at, will the fenders flex enough to get it out with out causing any issues?
