I don't think I could trust someone that only had an eBay feedback score of 14 :p.

Here are the springs I run. Just trim to get the ride height you want. The GT springs are great.

As for alignment....

Great day for a drive. You need to get a new photo posted with the pin-striping for your sig pic.

Steve,

How much travel to you have on your front suspension before you hit the bump stops?

Very nice.

Check into the insurance carriers to see if roll bars are allowed. Most of the agreed value insurance, like Hagerty, will not insure cars with roll bars or cages.

I thought I saw a Grant three bolt steering wheel adapter in some earlier photos. How did you get from that to the nine bolt wheel you have now?

It's looking really good BTW. I wish I had time to...

Maybe start planning your trip to the Christmas show at the XXX. Do you have heaters on the home shop?

Let me check with my social director. I can probably do this.

Looks good. This is prior to 600 grit sanding? Wait until you see it after sanding.

Paint can go straight over the primer. Shops will use sealer to get a uniform color to start with. You might have a few areas where you busted through the primer and have spots of different color....

I have a really nice 36" sanding board. I can ship it your way if you think it would help.

Things are looking pretty good. It's hard to tell from photos. I would need to see then up close.

Apply surfacer anywhere you see exposed filler. Don't take shortcuts. Apply two heavy wet coats and sand to 400 grit.

Take it to 600 wet.

Go with a solid two stage (base plus clear). I can help spec product and can help with the painting also. I have LVLP guns with 1.4 and 1.8 tips. Count me in to help with whatever.

Start...

How about painting it the actual color you want. I'll help. This is bad timing though. I'm be returning to work Monday after a 10 week break. Weekends are still good though.

Should at least get the inside of the doors, the jambs, and the tailgate.

Looks good so far.

That looks really good. Is that 3M Body Shutz?

You just need an early front sump pan and pickup. The pump is the same.

You'll be wanting to swap out that rear sump oil pan if you plan on steering the car in the future. That pan is right in the way of the centerlink.

Two medium coats of PPG DPLF epoxy primer will do a good job of covering all the filler. Don't worry about that. You should consider the spray-on polyester filler (Slick Sand) if you have a gun that...

I really like the Rage Gold product. I tried the cheaper stuff and won't go back. The rage gold goes on smooth with no air bubbles and is easy to sand.

Slick Sand is your friend if you have a gun to spray it. It will save you a lot of time with the body work. It's wonderful for getting long flat panels truly straight.

I hope you filled in the swiss cheese in that cowl before fitting the top.

It's looking good - and naked. Keep us posted on the progress. It's fun to read about. Especialy when my garage is too cold to work in.

I share Larry's concirn with the powder coating primer. I...
