Thank you Thank you^ I really hope it works out and looks good. I'm so sick of dropping welds on my head and the sound/smell of grinding haha.

gonna be a sick whip for sure when you are done! Not sure how this works, but i assume you will fiberglass over this once you get it where it needs to be and then smooth it out?

What color are you going to paint it when you are finished?

pretty set on a dark gray, but might do something silly for the summer since I'm changing parts non stop like olive drab or some nonsense.

Make sure to stiff up the suspension

I'm running 400lb spring 7". Pretty stiff for a car that weighs nothing, but ya i agree probably will need some work.

205/35 or 40 would be money. Just need to camber it a bit and your good to go. Is the wheels staggered?

yes wheels are staggered 8.5" front 10" rear.

Some more silly pictures from today.
threw some stickers on her.... looks like someone cares.


pretty low for 17" wheels. Can't say this sway bar will look this good for long
