Got the axle together. Welded differential with 3.73 gears. Fresh seals and bearings and Torco SGO. Welded the tubes and installed my dual caliper brackets and painted it black and dark steel metallic.

Installed it with the Maximum Motorsports grip pack. Extreme duty LCA's, Panhard Bar, Torque Arm, and my favorite Feal Suspension 441 Coilovers.

Finally tubed the front end and started fitting the fenders and bumper. Also installed all the front suspension, the Feal 441 custom valved coilovers and Duncan/Mass Angle kit.

It was a good feeling to see the car on the ground with all the suspension installed. Definitely looks aggressive like I wanted. I still gonna play with ride height later.

Nice build man! Sorry to hear about the GT. I'm starting my own drift build. Gonna keep it mild to start but I definitely want to get some more angle on the front turning radius. I would appreciate any advice!

Been awhile since my last update. Been busy but I've been chipping away and getting real close now.

I did away with the ABS module and instead of getting an abs delete block which still retains all the ugly and excessive amount of hard lines in the front, I made it simple with some stainless steel braided lines to clean it up and keep it simple. It was about $65 bucks, way cheaper than an abs delete block and cleans up very nicely.

Installed the Vortech blower and painted all the tube work.

Pulled all the exterior pieces off for paint. Decided to go with Dark Steel Metallic.

Just need to finish the bumpers, hood and trunk as far as paint. As far as the car from running, coolant lines, brakes, charge battery and start. Few other little detail things as well.

That's a work of art right there! I bet if you wanted to mass produce those fiberglass rear quarters you could make a serious profit with the serious drag racers on here. I personally would jump on fiberglass panels in a heartbeat if there was a company out there that made stock ones.

Super impressive work man. Glad to see you are putting the heart in a new body and didn't give up on your passion.

You do all this fab and paint work by trade or just a hobby?

I've had a really long list on this car and happy to say it's alot smaller now with less than 6 things to be done. Happy to say I got the car fired up and running this past weekend. Now I've been reinstalling the body pieces. The car will be 98% done this weekend. Here is where I'm at...

This past weekend I was able to bring it all together and finish the car. I finished it up late Saturday night in time for the GTR high performance customer appreciation day on sunday. I used the car for the Feal Suspension booth. It was definitely getting alot of attention. Finally feels good to be done for now. Next comes seat time at the track in prep for the upcoming top drift pro am series.

It seems like this build took forever. I mean I had to strip down the wrecked chassis and then had to strip this new edge down to nothing in order to prep and build it right. But I seriously did it in about 6 months. The car would have been done alot sooner but my son was born in August which was a big reason why the build slowed down and took and extra 2 months. Still I'm shock how fast I did a full pro drift car build in 6 months by myself with a full time job on top of that. Seriously feels like I overcame a huge obstacle. Glad to say it is down for now.
