It should be driving tomorrow morning. The gold is already sanded off for the most part. I can't handle it def going to change that. Paint is still up in the air.

Anyways so tonight I hopefully fixed the clunk in the front suspension.
Added small spacer in the tube.
(rough cut I sanded it flat)

basic idea of how it works

~.125 of the shock showing to clamp

repacked the bearings in the camber plate

Tomorrow I'm going to put them on, balance the brake caliper, and I HOPE smile and drive her.

 

Also I got asked this on stanceworks. The fenders are not a typical half circle. They are flat on top. I tried to maintain the original lines just embossed them out. Here is a side view of my car stock so mine look like this just brought out.

 

Keep us posted on your 1st drive!! I'm stoked for you, can only imagine how you feel!!

 

I got a quick drive to the gas station and back. The clunk in the front suspension is fixed, but I locked up the brakes and they started rubbing on the rotor so I'm going to troubleshoot that tomorrow. Pretty good day.

 

If not gold. Good ol' silver finish is classic.

 

I'm sanding the gold off for now and leaving it dull till I make a decision on the paint.

snapped a couple pictures since I can put her in the street. I raised the front/back a lot when I was fixing the clunk so ride height is off, but you get the idea imagine at least an inch lower all the way around. I really want to tuck rim in the back... just don't know if its possible still need to get the exact MM on clearance so I can order smaller spacers for the front and rear.

Side view:

 

Nice!!!

 

amazing work.

 

thanks! I really can't wait to get started on the engine and interior. This body work **** gets very annoying

 

I would say go .5"-.75" lower. 1" may be pushing it with this suspension. LOVE it though. Such epic work.

 

Thank you very much! always appreciate everyones kind words. I'm going to push it as far as possible. I have a stiffer spring for the rear on the way plus smaller spacers should really help.

 

That thing's looking pretty bad ***, nice work man.

 

the sways peakin out in the front is sexy as hell

 

what about keeping it matte black?

 

WOW.. makes me wanna go ol skool
