Great update and way to keep on keeping on after all the hurdles. That sucks about the radiator. We've all made those kids of mistakes.

I gotta tell ya, you got a keeper for a wife. How awesome is that!

You nailed the stance, looks great. I am sure you are dieing to get it out for a drive.

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing it shot in black. Its going to look great.

Thank you all for the kind words. Means the world to me and keeps me chugging along...

So over the past two weeks we have pretty much wrapped up the custom wheel wells. These babies are big, real big. No fitment issues though which is very nice. I can go low, ride low with out any rubbing. Timmy has them now to finish the welding and then prep and paint so more pictures to come. I also am in the process of ordering new triple adjustable shockwaves from ridetech for the front..just need a bit more money. I also wanted to show everyone the work that has been done to the fender lips as I'm sure some are curious. Onto the pictures..

Custom wells:

Fenders:

All the way up:

Ride Height:

All the way down:

Hopefully some all black action soon with some new goodies..more to come.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Been very busy within the last couple of weeks. During the week I Started laying some sound mat on the inside and installing the carpet to enjoy the car a bit more this summer.

In other news I ordered triple adjustable shockwaves from ridetech. I can not say enough about Josh and Danny. Big ups to those guys going above and beyond. Started on putting it all back together on friday night with my brother and got it all done as far as the front end was concerned. Last week Timmy finished the welding, grinding, then body work and paint..He called me on saturday afternoon and said they where done. By saturday night I had a car again. This morning I finished mounting the remote reservoirs to the wheel wells and checking over the front end one more time before I went out. Took the car to the park with the family to shake it out. Now this is the first time Ive drove the car since the air, tru-turn, strong arms, forgeline front wheels w/ 275 tire. It was a whole different machine let me tell you. You can feel the grip that it has compared to before..MUCH more responsive. I have not started messing with the tuning abilities of the shocks yet as I just want to get an idea oh what is the normal. The air is another thing that is taking some getting used to. I love being able to adjust where I need it to be and I love how its so much smoother as apposed to the old qa1's. The only downfall at the moment is since I'm running an old management system there is no pre-sets for the air so dialing it in can be a pain if your adjusting a lot. So I'm driving there and I smell a bit of burning.. get there and take a look. My rear drivers wheel is rubbing on the inside of the well. Almost as if the rear has shifted a bit to the pass side. It would rub a bit on harder turns on coils but on the air it is rubbing when I try to be lower. Unless Im aired all the way up almost it doesn't rub. Which is a really hard ride aired up so much. I am going to try a 1/4" -5/16" spacer on that side to start. I took some pictures when we got back from our walk with my nice camera and my son is obsessed to say the least.

In other news I have a meeting setup with the dealership where I bought my motor this friday to hopefully correct the belt alignment issue Ive been chasing. More to come soon..enjoy.

A couple of cool shots-

I think it can go lower..

Thanks for all the kind words guys its come a long way but has a long way to go. Still working through some small issues and bugs as I'm sure all others do. Timmy came over and we prepped the car for paint and took most of the big items off.. Finished the scuffing and prep work on Wednesday night and Timmy came over early on Saturday to start taping and all that good stuff.. We finished taping it out around noon, got lunch then sprayed it.. Not a perfect job but better than it was. This should hold me off for the summer untill I can get the cash to do my yellow with strips. Took the car out on Sunday and it threw two codes and was running a bit rough. After doing some digging everything was pointing to a dirty maf or vacuum leaks. Searched the intake a bit and found these jems.. You think they would make something better for this. Eventually ill pull the intake and plastic seal these holes eliminating any rubber. Enjoy the pictures..

Some quick edited photos..

and the best for last...Dad you ready to go?? I'm driving..
