Before and after painting the suspension! We media blasted all the parts, then painted them with EPX 908 Epoxy. This epoxy is amazing and goes on very smooth with NO dripping or running. A novice can use this stuff and look like an expert painter!

New tires and wheels came in! I ended up going with BFGoodrich g-sport Comp2 tires in 205/50/ZR16. The wheels are the Euromeister Alloy Replica Wheel size 7x16

My car is going to be so jealous..... You need to take the made in Germany label off of it and add a MADE IN TENNESSEE label. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Are you doing any work on the weekends. I'd love to come see it. Call me.

looks great, make sure you clean and use weld thru coating on the edges before you weld panels together or the seams will swell up with rust and after its welded use epoxy on it before seam sealing.

I think I am free. UT's 1st game is Sunday, 8/31 this year and I am going. I will probably travel on Sunday morning and stay up there Sunday night, so Saturday is looking like it is open.

First couple coats of the ppg 908 epoxy! Looking great in a satin finish, but anxious to see the final anthracite gray! solid roller by this time next week, if all of the parts come in that I have on order, speaking of, thanks to Eric at PMB, Restoration design, 914 Rubber, DRD Racing, Paragon Products, Ecklers, Tire Rack, Pelican Parts, Patrick Motorsports and Tangerine Racing for being so helpful and prompt with shipping all this stuff!

This looks really great. It really motivates me to get going on my "projects".

Now if I could only win that lottery...
