Okay, the fab work is all done.  QA-1 coil overs at all four corners, custom control arms with heims, Paul Ferry rear sway bar, new tires and rims on the way.

The car is now on the ground and ready for the paint booth....

How are you going to paint it man?

I just can not decide. Nothing has really blown me away.  It will probably be black with something in the clear.  I do have one thing up me sleeve, but that will have to wait.

Once I get the car back, I have to save for a couple of weeks and get the Baer discs on all four corners.  Then it's off to someone for precise tuning (player to be named later).

Greg, tell me what rims and size you intend on using, so I can composite this nicely.

Which one's are those and who'd you order them from?  Hindsight being 20/20, do you still like them?

They are a custom built unit.  As for whether I like them or not, I haven't driven the car yet with them.  I will let you how I like the set up, there will be a full report once I get this bitch on the ground.
