Default The chick did it

Hello all!

It's been too dang long but finally the beginnings of an update.

Some of you may remember this thread: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/evo-c...o-project.html

Unfortunately, due to insanely long work hours, a busy course load, a broken truck that had to take priority and twisting my back into an unnatural position (again) the project had to get put on hold. What was supposed to happen over the winter turned into a summer project.

It's far from being completely done and some of the original plans changed but there is life in another old evo.

I have to give a big shout out and thank you to folks like johnjzjz, THC, Imold, 98hotrodfatboy, spanners and everyone else here on the evo forum. Y'alls encouragement, help, knowledge, fun teasing and willingness to share all of the above really helped make this possible.

PS: Yes, it's still purple. No, there is NO PINK anywhere on it.

So your update is that you haven't done anything to it yet???

Just remember if it hurts your doing it wrong!!!
Maybe if you stretched out first???
