I went back and looked at the pics from the start of this build...looks like it was a right frontal hit, that didn't involve the frame...I see the radiator was shoved over...lucky you!

Awesome build, keep the pics coming!

Dont worry, your not alone brother. Loving your build up, just been a silent admirer.

Re: My SFBD 85 Build-Up
A little bit more but i put them on the uppers for a little better ride and to gain more room on the sides. i plan on running some 22x10's in the futrure and dont want there to be any issues as far as rubbing goes....

i plan on putting the fuel cell between the rails like i did before but recess it further down so i dont have to cut the bed out....
