That's the most true statement on this thread! I am a indecisive person anyways. So I'll spend the next 4 weeks second guessing my choice. Lucky for me, I am not painting the car anytime in the near future.

Ahh... I have my foil hat on, so they can't read my thoughts. Of course now they know about my hat...

Thanks man, all the positive feed back makes me feel better about my decision. Hopefully they hurry up and get here before I can change my mind again!



Kore3 presents came today! Let me tell you Tobin is the BEST around. Everything was packaged nice, he has a wealth of knowledge to share and won't steer anyone in the wrong direction.

Mocked up the 325mm DBA slotted front rotors and c6 calipers.


Check out the machine work on these backing plates. I went to school for CNC and ran CNC for a number of years and still love to see the manufacturing process.

Thanks to my brother helping the last few days, we made some pretty good progress.

Dp90 on axle housing and in misc parts that won't be accessible once installed.




Torque boxes and lower brackets installed.


Narrowed the passenger frame rail for mini tubs




Flange fabbed and welded in front and rear


Ready to plug weld


Inner rail plug welded and tacked into place


Tub installed

The quadralink install is mostly complete aside from cleaning up a few welds.

You are doing a great job Kevin and are almost there. Keep the pics coming.
Are you going to paint or use some type of coating on the floor pan?

Nice work Kevin.......especially for being a member of the jackstand infantry. That's a lot of core exercise!

Hey Kevin, just went through your whole thread. I'm loving it. That's going to be one nice ride! Timeless body style.

Thanks, I can't wait to have it on the ground again! I am planning on cleaning up the floors top and bottom, d90lf primer, then some matte top coat.

Ha, yeah situps are inevitable when building cars on jackstands.

Thank you, I can't wait but reality is that it will be a few years before I find out how it drives.

It's really coming together and I can't wait to see it on the ground

You and me both! I need some reassurance that I installed the 4 link right,

Driver side rail is narrowed and welded, also drivers mini tub is tacked in, just need to finish about 40 spot welds, and grind for a few days. Then it's ready to get off those jack stands for a while!
