Thanks man. Unfortunately I don’t know I got any of you as you were leading and I was in the back. Great meeting you two too Steve and let me know anytime you want to get out. I’m almost always game.

Are you going to have the hood and half doors painted for this weekend?

No. The paint came in late. Everything is sanded and prepped but the first spray only hits the metal tomorrow.

Well I’ve been quiet here for a bit but have been busy none the less. So here we go....
As most know by now I hit a point in the build where I just needed it together to figure out the next step in the suspension. I have to say that my basic coil and spring setup really did handle great for the most part and was keeping up with some of the nicest built rigs like JeffJ with his double throw down, Jerry with his coilovers and Fury with his double triangulated outboarded work of art. The problem was that the shocks really just weren’t able to handle the weight of my axles and I found myself in my bumps constantly and after any period
of wheeling they just got worse. So it was decision time.

Progress was honestly pretty easy and quick at first.

Then I hit the passenger side....they say trim the underside of the battery box slow. They say take your time. Well I wish someone would say just take out the whole damn corner of it so your battery is sticking out and it would of saved hours of trimming and a hell of a mess.

Then came my next dumbass hurdle of the lower bracket for the straps for the reservoir. When I originally changed my brakes Iines I put the mounting bracket how it best fit my lines. Well I’m order to get the Evo bracket to mount and clear the brake connection I needed to undo my lines and flip the brake line connection bracket the other way. Needless to say I was pissed as I hate bleeding brakes and dealing with brake fluid.

And finally the rears. Install itself here was really easy until I realized my adjusters were hitting both the OE bracket and Evo support bracket. Finally decided to just trim away.
