    Almost there( update)

    Sorry for the cell pics, but all I had at the moment. I should have her running by weeks end.

    Motor has 80% new everything

    Test wheel down

    progress

    got to do something with that alternator.


    under carriage re-coating in progress, and new urethane bushings where ever possible, new hawk pads and brembo drilled rotors all corners. Lost a shipment from Blunt containing steel braided clutch and brake hoses so I have to re-order those Will post finished products

                Wish you had pics of the engine pre-install.

                Whats your process for undercarriage re-coating and what products are you using?

                    Yes! Where did you get your fill and drill done? I'd be willing to make a four hour drive to GA if I can't find anyone in Charlotte

                      Sorry bro, this the only pic I have before everything went bare, started working and just forgot to take pics, caught in the rhythm of work.


                      As far as under carriage I'm using Wurth rubberized product, don't have a gun so just got the brush to apply it. I stripped the problem areas using a copper brush attachment and a drill.

                        here are better shots of wheel centers. Motorsport tech also made hub centric adapters for me as well, and our very own Kaliboy supplied the spline drive lug bolt kit which I love a whole bunch
