Nope. Dont know what its off of. Those wheels i borrowed from you are on taras car. I found two wheels in the back of the t type i stripped. I have to put different studs in the wheel spacer on that side before i can mount the last zr1.

The one i couldnt get rid of. 3600 stall, guessing its an Atlantic coast converter.

Even though no one showed up, i was able to get all of the body bushings in. Really wasnt as bad as i was thinking. Using a lift and a couple screw jacks and the job was cake.

Never said it was a budget build. I just didnt want to spend a shit ton of money on the motor.

I want to update this car as much as possible, tubular suspension, better disk brakes, poly bushings, better a/c, ect.

I do plan on taking the car to the track but im not looking to be the fastest.

I hope the weather holds out so i can get these newly acquired parts installed.

Since you have to replace the old worn out pieces might as well upgrade. Looking good so far. What lower control arms are those? and by the pictures it appears you can still retain stock springs?

Matts94Z28 · 11-06-2010, 11:59 AM

Looks nice! When are the triple gold daytons and hydros going on?

UMI. Yep you can retain stock springs or you have the option of a coil over.
