So I've seen a bunch of people making their build threads, so I figured, why dont I make one too? Heres my car from beginning to now. I will be updating this thread with anything new added, to keep everyone else updated, and to keep track of what I have done. There will be a lot of pics, so if your still using internet from the stone age, leave now. On to the thread/pics...

I have an extra front bumper that has painted rubs, but I dont think I'm going to use them. I'm most likely going to have my front end shaved and the grille custom done up. Hopefully before June 12, if not later on down the road.
