Thanks Ryan......I have been working 7 days a week at least 8 hours a day so I haven't done to bad for only having the car 2 weeks.

First thing I did was mount the battery in the trunk. It is made for a red top Optima. Mother F....er didn't fit of course. I had to flip over the top bracket and egg out the hole and switch hardware. Turned out nice though.
My brakes showed up, unfortunately my subframe change screwed me on the front brakes and they sent brakes for a stock sub. Wilwood dropped the ball there. I do have the rear brakes all ready to go minus the brake lines from the hose to the calipers. Just waiting on the rear end bracket. I did have to enlarge the stud holes in the rotors quite a bit. There is a shoulder about an 1/8 inch off the flange. The center hole needed enlarged very little. They fit perfect now and I have the parking brake adjusted and the rotor to caliper clearance is within spec. They look gooooood withthe wheels on but I was to lazy to lift those heavy sucker on there for the photo.
