Finally getting the 'boxes welded up

Well, after bounging around and trying to avoid potholes all winter, the torque boxes are finally being repaired on the bird.  I have a very reputable chassis shop working on it. I should be back in the bird within a couple of days.  Along with mynew pipes, 2008 is looking up!:birdsmily:

Actually boxed uppers and lowers with the CHE adjustable top and bottom.  I'd go with coil overs, but thats getting REAL pricey.  All that plus the C&C plates will make the bird finally ride right.....and stop it from shedding tires like snake skin. lol
