Jimmy GT, '92 GMC forever project
So my intro thread went long. I'm a relatively quiet guy, but I ramble when I type. My apologies.
So, I will attempt to keep things short and hope the pics can tell most of the story. It will still take me a while to get to the present day since this project started over 10 years ago. Bear with me.
The beginning:

The day I picked it up from a lot in WA state. Spring 2000. Drove it home to MN. 4.3 CPI/700R4
Fixed a few things, did the typical bolt-on stuff, lowered it a little more, wheels, tires, window tint, etc and daily drove it a couple years.
Fast-forward to '04-'05:

My engine pulling helper is in his second year of college now.
Sold engine and trans. with the intent of doing a simple V8 S-truck. Engine and trans swap, a few relatively minor suspension and brake upgrades and not much else.
Had a low-mileage '97 F-body LT1 and T56 from a previous unfinished project and was headed that direction.
But then plans snowballed.
Fall 2006:

Off it goes to a shop several states away. The plan is for major frame and suspension modifications, beyond my skill set.
Next chapter tomorrow: 10 years away.

Moving on: Swaybar fab and mounting F+R
If you look closely at some of the following pics you will catch glimpses of the front spring pocket and UCA/coilover upper mounting modifications and mixed in with the rear swaybar shots are peeks of the chassis mounted watts link. Unfortunately, I do not have specific in-process pics of these things coming together. I'll be sure to get some good shots now that I have everything at home and post later.
