That's one of those better than new cars.  Amazing.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Yes.

Scary.


Looks pretty darn good! Those are SSB rotors, right? Those look sweet. :yesnod:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

If your worried about scratching your new undercarriage on lift just do what I do, Get 4 rubbing wheel pads, put these on each of the lift ends & raise at frame. Not sure Pinchweld a good idea? :scratchchin: :rotz:

Many great questions.

They said they have it on the pinchwelds so they could paint the underside on the lift.  They are going to get rear differential in today so it will be rolling into the paint bay by weeks end. 

The rotors are from the Wilwood kit and I am very pleased with ease of installation and look.

Sway bar, torsion bars are all from Firm Feel.  They really are good quality.

Ugly K-Member bolts.  I cannot seem to locate new ones.  Anyone with ideas on where to get?  If no replacements, I plan to have them painted at least.

Better get that off those pinch welds and supported properly or your car may end up on the floor with a couple of guys under it.

They make a phosphate kit if you plan on doing several bolts.  I think Eastwood sells it.  We used it with mine, kind of time consuming but if you're after details...
