You'll be happy with that mounting kit.  It is a work of art and the bump steer correction has been dead nuts calculated by Bill @ LPI Racing.

Very nice.   FDs are one of the few cars that look good with wild paint colors.

Thanks guys. I have a body shop so I got to play with many different oranges until we came up with that special blend. Very hard to get it so it doesn't loot too yellow - red. The picture doesn't do justice. Looks really nice in the sun. That wide body is all sheet metal. Cut and widened. It's not a add on attached with bond. Here's a picture of the fenders.

I dig the color. Almost the same as my bay orange. Maybe I'll post the code. The car looks amazing.

Nothing fancy. Just stock, late model. I just want her running first. It's been too long. I'll get another motor built later.

I have couple engines.....

What is your budget :)

I have#1 iron boost built shortblock for $3800 assembled and #2 LS2 alum boost  :lurk: shortblock for $4500.

Also a stock LS2 2006 GT0 shortblock with new rings (46K miles when I got it) for $1200 with ARP rod bolts.

I have plenty of parts to make any of these longblocks with heads/intakes/inj/accessories etc.

Plus built T56's with ZERO miles.

Can ship T56 for $100 and engines for about $250 or less.

Can anyone tell me if this is a decent deal? It's from a hot rod shop. Local. I'm a little uncomfortable buying used long distance. Still learning so bare with me.

All painted up
« Reply #14 on: September 26, 2011, 09:30:30 AM »
Looks like all the parts are good to go. The clear laid down pretty decent. I'm probably only going to spot buff. I'm going to start putting her back together from the rear.

Question: During the install, has anyone wished the doors were off? The reason I as is, rather than storing the doors separately, it would be much safer and easier to just hang them.
