Little more progress this week, waiting on some new Wilwood rear brackets for the brakes and getting my axles upgraded to 1/2 studs (ordered them wrong)...But got the front end all finished up, sitting a little too low but want to get the rear end all finalized before I start raising it back up some...

Well it's back on the ground finally.....Had to wait on some new brackets from Wilwood that showed up Friday, but didn't know someone had to sign for them so no one was home....Arr!!!! Nothing like having to wait till Monday now to finish it up now.....

Ralphlovs72chev 09-21-2013 07:16 PM

Looks. Really good. Nothing like them Rushforths.

Looks awesome! :D

RBuhr69 09-28-2013 09:30 AM

Thanks!!! I am very excited with the finished car and appreciate all the help from the site with a few issues encountered throughout the build......

Still got some fine tuning to do on shock adjustments to get it leveled out better...Figured it would settle in some so didn't want to go to crazy on lowering it too much at once.....

The upgrade made a "World" of difference in how the car handles and you have to be more cautious driving being that low as well...

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY :):)

man that color just explodes out in the sun. great job ronnie

Do you have enough room for the Muscle Bar to move all the way up with out hitting the bump stop that was welded to the bottom of the subframe at the factory (near the sway bar mounts)? Did you have to trim any metal from inside the spring pocket to clear the coil overs?

RBuhr69 09-30-2013 05:04 PM

Yes, you have to do some minor grinding/cutting to clear the muscle bar brackets around the spring pockets...Nothing major that a grinder with a cut off wheel didn't handle.....and there was another minor area to grind where the front bumper bolts to the sub frame but it is all in the instructions from Ridetech.....

Thanks everyone for the compliments!!!! I am very happy with the look even though it was a long process for one person and all the little issues here and there but it is DONE!! :thumbsup:

Well done for now, interior work next later this year after Daytona...

Just got word the new "Rushforth" rims are on the way....Can I rent out the Tomcat :Tomcat: :)

Nice, very nice. It is all about your budget and what works for you.

Got the rear tires set where I want the ride height.....Probably going to have to get lower rate springs for front, I was able to adjust them after this photo some, but I will be out of the shock performance area if I keep going any further....These are 650lb, probably need 550lbs..

So did you just have to pry the rear end over to get it centered before you welded on the upper tabs? Mine is currently off by 1/4".
