     AH, I was wondering if you were going to cut the front something like that or make the whole fenders pick up.

I like the look of the cut. It makes people know something has been done.

The reason the UP22 stuff is cheap as you have found is they are cheap.  They are made for a drag car not a show car.  I am impressed, I would never attempt this with UP22 parts.  Like Vile, I have gotten bad ones along with several friends, they are great for lightweight drag cars.  I have a US Body Tilt.  I will have another one eventually.

I'm glad I found out their lack quality in this project. I would hated if I expected all this to bolt on, but I probably would have made that work too. You're going to have a nice truck by the way have you got any further on that 6.0?

Looks like it is plugging along. My next project I plan on doing something fully electronic just not sure what yet. I've been contemplating a supercharged 3.8 from a pontiac in a Chevy II nova with an s-10 700r4. Right now I just gotta focus on getting my cummins back in.

      Are you going to use those latch clips that I always see on front ends ?  If so are you putting them on the outside or inside ?

I'm doing a linear actuator. No clips. They have enough force to keep it down.

I'm not to happy with the way the back top has lined up so I'm cheating. It's nothing a little fiberglass and foam won't fix.

That's something to think about. That British accent makes for an easy sell.
