Well, you know I can adjust the rears ... out

The front's getting Anvil fenders. They're on the way.

Wow what a build, sucks about the setbacks. Can't wait to see it done though! I'm partial to second gens myself...

Have you already ordered the Anvil stuff? Seems it's highly unpredictable on when it will show up. Waiting on a hood/spoiler myself, no idea when it will come. Not sure if it helps that I went through classic w/ a 25% off sale haha.

You and me both, Scott. If things went differently, I'd already be racing this.

But it will happen. Talking to a few shops about doing it. So far, I like Vince at Mean Streets

Yes, I have all the Anvil stuff in house already. I bought some stuff through a vendor that stocked a bit and made sure I ordered all the stuff that was already in house.

Otherwise, it takes a while to make them and ship them here. They do great quality control, so some of the delay is them not shipping you the one crappy hood in the style you ordered they got from overseas.

Yep, that's what I understood the process to be. Just didn't want you to sit out for months more waiting on something if you weren't expecting it. Sounds like you have about all of their stuff, are you painting it or running it as CF?

Mind saying the vendor that might have things in stock for future reference haha?

We did make adjustable upper rear IRS arms. I figured since we had all the DSE lowers and we could suck the suspension in or out, that all links needed to move to create the perfect track alignment.

So, in comes my friend "Bullet" to make arms that should have been done in the first place. That is some sweet TIG, too.
