Doesn't look much different, but a lot more hours in and it's running. Going to test drive it tomorrow.

No more rust.. exciting.

Test driven today. Pretty much finished.

Pretty impressive for a high schooler. You must have had some great teachers along the way to be able tackle a job like that.

Awesome work, nice to see some of the younger generation willing to get their hands dirty.

Thanks! I am very pleased with it. My father was a tool and die maker and now a mechanical engineer. It certainly helped immensely. When it came to laying the rails out he was great. Unfortunately I'm the only one in the family to have welded

He was great to reference ideas from, and especially for any drilling and tapping

He had a large hand in it.

Thank you. There are certainly some of us out there.

I took it on a nice cruise today with the top and doors off. The rear end chatters after heating up. I am assuming since it has Trac-Lok (LSD) that it doesn't have the additive. I'm going to drain it and run full synthetic.
