They use custom designed AFCO's , designed specifically for this kit. I don't know the exact details as ours want be here till tomorrow. AFCO sent us factory rear replacements, I'm partially to blame as we never made it clear. And AFCO has done so much with helping us out with the shocks for the car. We are also using there factory replacement coilovers for the front!!

UPDATES< UPDATES!!!!!

Yesterday was spent media blasting parts!! Subframe, rear end, front rear spring buckets, etc, etc. Then late last night, we got some color on them. Color is "hot rod black" which is suppossed to be a 60% gloss finish. These pics are 5 minutes after they were sprayed and rolled back in the shop. Also started the BMR install. Which is going together awesome

Just wanted to send out another update for all of you... We were contacted last week about the possibility of being on the PowerBlock on Spike TV... They loved the story behind the car and how all the different companies have come together to help make Ty's dream a reality. They loved what everyone was doing and want to show it to the world!

We got the call this morning from John Kurtz, head producer of Powerblock TV and he confirmed he wants us on the show with the car! So after SEMA we will have a few weeks to tie up any loose ends, then head to Franklin, TN, to the Powerblock studio to tape an episode with Courtney Hansen on December 8th and 9th. The car and interviews with Ty and myself will air in between each of different shows. Basically a few minutes each half hour, with interviews, walk around camera footage of the car, etc!!

Great opportunity for all our sponsors and supporters to get a little more credit for all they have done!!

Once again, I can't thank everyone who has given to the project enough!!!

Here's the Powerblock TV site http://www.powerblocktv.com/site3/

I know this is not the reason you are doing this but I hope you reap more new business than you can handle.

Life has a way of rewarding the "Go Giver" instead of the "Go Getter".

Congrats

Your going to Hollywood baby... I mean TN, LOL.
