Looks great Harold. You going to get front disc brakes for it? Saw someone w/a disc kit and it was sweet

naw, I bash too hard, the brakes would be a maintenance nightmare. They are sweet looking.

I've done most of what I'm going to do with it, I just need a few more dress up items and I'm gonna consider her done.

She was named. Her name is B.O.A.T.

I added a purple billet handle to the motor, and a purple MSD plug wire w/ MSD head.

I got in my turtle racing quick change diff tranny case.

Put piggybacks on the shocks. (piggybacks, or better shocks in general are crucial for 5b's and serious bashers. With that big shock shaft there is enough area displaced inside the shock that a little bladder cap is not enough. Consequently seals blow and shocks fail. The closed cell foam in the piggyback compresses to compensate for the area displaced by the shock shaft.)

Some carbon fiber here. Some bling there. Pics to come.
