well i welded heads on to my caliper bolts.. they were stripped out pretty bad and figured id save a few bucks and just put some heads on it.. anyway when i pulled the caliper off my brakepads literaly crumbled up .. guess it was time for new pads ..

i did a little trimming for the bumper im making and to make the fender flares match up.. there is a reason for everything i cut and you will see that when im done with the bumper heres some pics of some stuff i cut out


i moved the vacuum ball thing to a spot in the engine bay .. it fit nicely right beside the batter so i trimmed the hoses and plugged it back in



well heres how the front end looks right now .. still taking measurments and thinkin about how everythings gonna go together with this bumper im making
