The car has been in bare metal for quite awhile now.... when I had it blasted I did epoxy it but with all the metal work 80% of the original epoxy is gone. So now that I'm finally winding down on the big metal work, I need to get it back in epoxy. So I prepped and shot the doors, front fenders and trunk lid.


So that's where it stands right now for the most part.

Right now I put the car back on the rotisserie and am going over all the welds and doing final grinding/dressing etc. I'm going to have Dominator weld on my brackets for the rear UCA front mounts (any high stress areas, I'm having the pros weld on...don't trust my own enough)....then I'm going to take it back to the blaster and have them "touch it up" by blasting all the underside, floor and any spots really difficult to get to (seams, welds etc) and then get it back into epoxy.

Then mock it all up again, and start my hard lines for brakes, fuel, brakes etc

hey Marty

The rear UCA ?...no its the same length....maybe a turn or two different. I tried to run it in the middle of its threads to give me as much adjustment longer/shorter as possible. Other than that, its the same length as it comes form Ride Tech

yes I did have Tim shorten those front UCA a tad and the camber improved a lot. I'm still kinda worried about alignment adjustment with the way the front is set up now....we shall see...
On the Airbar set up on my Camaro we bolted and did a couple stitch welds.
