Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Thanks guys. I decided to go simple for the most part since I am on a budget. I'm sure these parts will work out well for me. Pictured are Speed Tech UCAs, composite leaf springs, SFC's, front frame brace, coil over kit with Viking coil over/shocks, and Delrin shackle kit all from Keith at Custom Works. There are also Pro-G braces for the engine bay with the cowl bar that goes between them from Pro-Touring F-body. It might take me a while to get it all installed depending on how busy I am at work. Rather excited none the less to be moving forward though.
I got the Hobart 140 from my local ACE. They matched Northern Tool's price but I did have to pay sales tax. If you've got a local place that you like to shop at, give them a chance to match an internet price even if they don't advertise they price match.
Oh yeah, any one have an opinion on using flux core versus solid wire with gas to weld in the SFC's, frame brace, and eventually coil overs? I was thinking the flux core wire will work just fine on the frame connectors. I might get the gas set up by the time I go to tackle the coil overs.
Thanks
