He's in school like 2 hrs away... hard to work on updates when school takes priority (at least in my book).

I think it has been two weeks. But I see you've been busy sliding that Bimmer around.

Yeah sliding the bimmer, building a truck, going to school, and doing stupid stuff on motorcycles that may leave my licenseless have really gotten in the way...

Two wheels are bad. I know I'd be dead if I ever played around with one. Got a new frame under that little 4.3 yet?

Love what your doing with the car, it's exactly what my ADHD-riddled brain wanted to do with an L-body, sometime in the future.

Well I haven't forgotten about this project, Ive been picking at it when I have an hour free here and there.
It runs and drives now!(barley)

Big ticket items coming up are:
Cooling system
Front suspension(coilovers, more angle for drift, 5x114 swap, etc)
Power Steering
Finish exhaust
Tidy up like 1000 things that are 95% complete
Get a driveshaft made.

Heres a little burnout to show it is rwd.

I can only imagine that his side escapades of fighting crime and repairing his bat cycle is interfering with his Beretta project lol....
