Fabian, im actually at work and have no idea of the size. i'll wait to find more before i bug you over a few bolts. thanks though. youre awesome!!!

got a call today, and the bolts are going to be done on monday!!! it sucks that im working a 72 starting tomorrow and then im in a class m-f. i dont think the wife is going to be too happy if i sneak out to the garage to start putting it back together.

i also ordered up the power windows from mike at musclerodz. after hearing all the bad stories with the electric life stuff, i went with a set up from nu-relic. they are supposed to be way better and no need to open the door to get the window up that last 1/4". i bought them without the harness and i plan to get some billet switches and make my own harness. the plan is to put all the controls in the center console, but i need to figure out the layout with the vintage air controller, power door lock switches, window switches, start button, head unit, cup holders..........

im also debating on what to do about the radiator and it will be next months purchase. since the plan is to run the mast 416, their pcm controls the fans so there is no need for a special harness. therefore i can pick up a ron davis for 1060 or a prc for 800 both with dual 16" spal fans. 260 is a ton of money that can be used elsewhere, but i really want the welds that RD is famous for. everyone says that the prc are just as pretty, but i havent seen one in person.

if i still have any money left to my name, november will be stereo month. im going to get the amps, speakers and subs now, and wait on the head unit until the car is done. they seem to be changing really quickly and i dont want another regret. im undecided between the infinity kappas, infinity kappa perfects, alpine spx or focal vr's for the speakers. amps will most likely be the infinity kappa 1 and 4, and the 10" sub will match the speakers. i still need to do a bunch of research, but i do have time.

maybe i'll have a couple pictures tuesday night????

Very cool. Sucks you can't work on the car for a while, but at least you got some things that will keep you busy thinking about.

just another small update. i got all the bolts and various parts back.... all i can say is wow. they look killer. i havent had time to sort through the 500+ pieces, but i hope to get them organized tomorrow night and start assembly on sunday. i included pics of the spc upper arms. i still need to install the bjs, but the black/grey combo is KILLER. i am almost thinking i now need to paint it black.......

i also got the speakers today. cartoys is giving 10% off already killer prices on this set. front and rear will both get the components, and i still need a couple amps and a 10" sub.

here are a few pics. more to come on sunday!!!!
