Re: New Project Safari...
Very cool man, what kind of drop did you go with spindles or coils up front. I'm guessing since you said 2.5 I'm thinking belltech drop coils. And rear flip kit or drop leafs? Keep up the good work.

Re: New Project Safari...
My friend i am doing both, drop spindles and coils in the front, and 3"leafs and the flip kit in the rear, it will be a total of 4.5" in front, I and 5.5" in the rear... I called Belltech they could only answer the questions I had with... "We haven't tested a drop that drastic for a GMC Safari, could I recommend the 3" in front and the 3.5" for the rear...." So, on that note I had to order the spindles from them for the extra 2", and our local (Edmonton) shop for trucks had the 3" leafs so I am waiting on my spindles, and yes I will be putting together lots of pictures.... I have to notch the frame for the proper height so there is no banging going down the road, and yes, there will be pictures of that also... I hope everyone keeps up...

Awesome job!
So, did you just Rivet the skull permanently on your hood? Prior to bondo-ing it into place?
