Thought I would share with some pics

This is a car I have always wanted . yay.gif

Picked it up from a member here on the board. From there it went to EMF Emil for the aluminum work and windshield . Ran it Memorial Weekend . Now it's time to tear it down for powder.

It goes to V&L in a few weeks

Awesome car, being a fabricator, see anything you don't like? Just wondering as your SxS Kong build was awesome.....Always loved SCU.

I think my pal Jeepduner was eyeing that car. Was an awesome deal for someone who has the vision to finish it.

Great find. Keep the pictures coming!

Best,

I know I can appreciate lil things like . Car is very well thought out in my opinion. The bolts used on the hiems ride on a bolt that has a full shoulder for more shear strength. When removing shocks and bypass at full droop both where full extended . Meaning I didnt have to jack one up to get the bolt out then lower arm to get the other out. Other stuff like that . I am very proud to say I own a SCU. thumb.gif

WOW Thanks ... those are some awesome paint designs . I am thinking a simple and more traditional design . I really like the solid color with the 2 strips and SCU logo inside.
