sweet payton!!!!!
cars gonna be on another level!!! i prefer polished lips also, and the wheels look awesome!

Payton The car looks killer, but then again I always love your car anyway. They do some awesome fab work.

Thanks for all of the kind words

I am about to go on vacation. I cannot remember if I have ever taken a full week off since I have gotten out of college and into the real world. I am going to try and get a bunch of pics posted.

Here is a lesson I have learned more than a few times over the course of owning this car for 18 years...nothing ever goes on the way it is supposed to fit. Jake's Torque Arm is designed to fit under a stock trunk pan and be a very easy and non-invasive install, one of the many reasons I went with his system. Not on my car, running a drop version of the 21st Century subfame and half height DSE bushings, my car is lower than most. When we positioned the rear end housing where it needed to be located in the car at ride height and using the ride height length of the shocks...we were in the trunk a couple of inches with the watts/shock mount. Great, break out the cutting wheel.

With that talent they will make short work out of it.

Car looks Great! Not sure how I missed the thread....

BTW --- we just did our 40th! Talk about time flying by... ha! You haven't even started yet. Seems to go faster and faster each year.

Sounds like you're sinking the set up pretty deep in the car. I'd look for tunnel/pinion clearance issues with your pinion angle set and at fulll bump.

And of course the cross member that comes with the kit will not work on my car, so Dan to the rescue
