     Yea, I like fast bikes, probably too much.  For now my Charger takes care of my needs.  I have always wanted a old step side 4x4, this is going to be more of a street queen then a mudder.  I have been in 4wd most of my life, I used to build rock crawler jeeps for years, have moved on from that now.
Oh and Mr blake47 I've broken 2 holesaw one way or another my project moving slow till I can sell some of my old parts so I can pay someone to do it for me I don't know what else to do

      I don't understand, are you stuck on something, or just short on cash right now ?

No it just snaps , I go at a slow rpm and then it get in a bind I stop and after a few it snaps , I won't go to fast and just shear the teeth , the hole I have to drill is at a angle how ever , I figured that it's just cheap holesaw , I've maybe drilled 3mm in 4 hrs and I'm always short on cash but that's the beauty of a true done right budget build , I'd rather take time and go slow than slap crap and fix it ever 15 min

     Make sure you store it properly so you don't come back and find a big rust pile.
