Wish I had more time. I would have taken pictures of the stuff on a white background and made it look more professional.

It remind's me of when I was a little kid and a friend would bring a cool new toy over, let you play with it for a while and then take it home with him when he leave's...mine is still out for R & D. I'm not complaining since I have plenty to do without it. Besides every time Denny visits he leaves me with lots of changes to make, I think by next visit I might be caught up.

That's a great analogy.
To compliment that, I think I (soon to be we) just became the kid who has the cool new toy at school.
Denny gave me clearance to publish pictures BTW. Wanted to make sure I wasn't letting the cat out of the bag on anything.

The K member is made by HemiDenny.
=========================================
A note to future HemiDenny customers.
Denny has always answered my questions promptly and kept me in the loop through the entire process.
He has gone above and beyond a hand full of times. Was eager to help me make sure everything is exactly how I want it, or thought I wanted it until he enlightened me on a few things.
Know that your getting top notch support with your tricked out hardware.
=========================================
I will continue to post pictures and feedback as I go through the install of the K member.

Its going to look like jewelery once its powder coated. I'm just trying to decide what color.
Saved the best picture for last.

I am getting the same set up, hopefully this summer. The price is much more reasonable than you would expect.

Thanks for the nice words Shawn, It's been a blast to work with you.
There are several more packages to finish up, and I hope I can soon put a informational thread together with options, pictures, and prices....including a few testimonials from some FABO members...the good and the bad.
My target is somewhere around $1695 for my K-frame, chromoly upper and lower control arms, stealth upper shock mount/support, and motor perches, with sway bar brackets optional. In addition, I supply a detailed list of componets/part#s/current prices (appx $1250 includes coilovers minus brakes) neccassary to complete the build the user can buy direct.
a tacked only version would be appx $200 to $250 less (based on application) for the do-it/weld-it yourselfers

Denny was in San Francisco yesterday. I don't know if he's home yet.
Send him a PM and I'm sure he will give you his phone, email etc.
