QUOTE(kellzey @ Nov 13 2003, 10:43 AM) Those RSR struts aren't mine. They belong to another dsmeyer!!! I have regular Bilstein struts. Those were standard Bilstein struts, before the spindles were raised, rewelded and gusseted. The steering arm was reshaped and then the whole strut was powder coated green. That's why I called them RSR "style" struts. |

It lives... I actually DO have a car body to put all those purdy parts on to.
Car is primered. Flares are getting smoothed out. There are very few dimples in the body to be repaired. The body guy is amazed how straight this car is.

Wow, all those seams look GREAT w/o all the goop from the factory. I forget, did you remove that, or did your body guy? I hear it's a B to remove, but boy does it look good w/o it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Way too many parts man! You'll never get that all back together. I'm sure you'll end up like me,with a box full of "extra" parts.
So cool you're doing it right! Can't wait to see it done. Are you going to hermetically seal it when you're done? |

I'm thinking more along the lines of a giant "Space Bag" or the Food Sealer 2000!

I need to merge all the threads I have started with the different pieces of the car. Update wil happen soon. The body shop has several digital camera's so I may have them shoot something for me (they are over an hour away from me with no traffic).

Karl, I know you can't wait to get the car back. Any idea when you'll get it back? The Nov pic looks great with the primer.
