Mike - its far from perfect but overall for my first dive into real fab work I'm pretty happy so far. An oh yea, its of jack stands in the shop. I don't have room for a lift so no choice.
Plan for now is to run car as is paint wise. I really want to reduce weight using composite panels of some kind and I want to add wider wheels all around which involves flares. beyond this I also want more aero enhancements. All of these would entail paint of some kind. I think for now Ill just run with current wheels, no flares, full weight and with as much aero as I can do without causing a respray. I just want to drive it again. I'm tired of seeing it in the shop.
On that note, I did put the rear suspension back together and put the car on the ground. I wanted to make sure everything is really aligned right...so far it seems good. The header tuck looks perfect too. Only small fear is the sway bar arms but I think since they are near the axle centerline that it will be ok. car is made to travel 2.75" and the x-member is now 3.25" off the ground, sounds pretty good to me assuming the body panels don't have any issues.
Next steps are to clean the shop with the car out then tackle the rear suspension. Rear changes are a new pan hard bar mount to move the roll center down, adding an adj front mount for the trailing arms and installing adjusters for the coil overs.
