Final Shots

The car is being loaded up onto the trailer today.

LONG OVERDUE

We got the cage back a few weeks ago, and it looks FANTASTIC!  We have nearly 90ft of tubing in the car.  As you can see, we went with the NASCAR-style ladder bar for the door.  It extends into the door and actually touches the outer skin.

We initially were wanting to paint the whole car gray so it looked like metal.  However, it came out looking kind of funny so we decided on camouflage.  

TA bushings and shocks

We replaced the trailing arm bushings with new rubber ones courtesy of Blunttech.com, and popped in our new rear shocks as well.

 - As you can see, we constructed our own install/removal tool from a pipe, some threaded rod, and a few washers.  It worked really well, and was quite fast.
