Well I finally had a few our to work on my car last night so I installed the BMR controls and sway bar, a set of Tie rod adjusters, and the AFCO coilovers. Shes coming together slowly but not to much longer now. BMR is shipping the torque arm and my new strange housing tomorrow. So we will start the rear install later in the week

Have you checked how much total weight difference between the steel and the carbon fiber parts?

Been a busy couple of weeks on the car. Complete BMR suspension is installed, 3" Stainless exhaust has been fabricated and installed, Ricks tank installed, and fuel plumbing has began. Made the decision to run the 19/20 combo from Forgeline that I had for the Challenger project. The 17's were causing way to many issues in the rear, back spacing was setup for the inboard leaf spring setup that previous owner had fabricated. So they were interfering with the BMR lower arms. I'll have to send the fronts off to be rehooped! Even though with the 285 I can almost turn lock to lock in the front. Might just change out the rear hoop and go to a 255 front as back spacing is perfect right now

Rolled her off the lift last night, underside is done. Moved her into the other bay, and put Freedombird back on the lift to chase some fluid leaks.

She sure does look mean on those Forgelines and looks sweet sitting there with Freedombird!! Shes real close, I hope to have her on the road within the next few weeks
