Wow... I don't know how I've missed this thread for so long! Best hour I've spent in awhile going through this from the start. You have an amazing Denali and are a huge inspiration for mine now. I can't wait for my retrofit to happen as the parts were purchased last Friday. I can only hope to one day start working on the power train like you have done.

This thing is amazing! I have very similar plans for my own Denali and this thread has helped me visualize the finished product in a way I couldn't before.

Keep up the good work! 10/10 - would read again.

So the rears are finally in...fit great. Love the fit and finish on the brakes, but the wilwood brake lines are something else...should have been done by now, but it seems that the chassis fitting that they provide, does not want to fit well w the stock hard line fitting...for a kit thats over $100 for two small brake lines, very disappointed.
