[Andy348]

fuckin jelly of that rotisserie

[IronFreak]

Thanks man, I have built a lot of things to make a project more convenient to work on, this hands down is by for the BEST investment I've ever made. It's pretty awesome.

[Peattie]

Just went through your build and I cant wait to see it finished. :up:

[IronFreak]

Thanks man. My buddy Adam and i got the car all loaded up with parts and got the tow bar all mounted up tonight. Will be pulling it to the new shop tomorrow!!

[kingston]

Alright Ross! Progress should be swift then! The race to get our cars done is ON!!

[IronFreak]

Well Friday night my buddy Adam came over and we got the tow bar all mounted up and packed the car full of all the parts still going on it.

Before we tossed the last box into the car.....which happened to be my flares, we decided to mock them up. I was pretty giddy after we got the rears on, but this picture was right after I turned around from mounting the fronts and realized just how much meat I can stuff under these ultrawides.......People, it's going to get crazy.



On Saturday my buddy Joe brought over his truck and we got it pulled, it got a lot of......



......and I think a few people actually knew what it was and were a little excited.....that was probably just me.

Here it sits in the driveway of its new home, Grandma doing pre-inspection.....she approves!



Went home and grabbed a few more things I could move with my car and took a picture of the empty garage.....Not sure how I feel about this.....looks like enough room to store a new project hahaha!



Went back to the garage and started cleaning. My Grandpa passed away last year and I had been going through his shop and orginizing it for my Grandma. LOTS OF OLD PARTS. It took a few hours to get it clean enough to push the car in but it really looks like its at home now!



SO much more room!!



So Not to much is going to happen until June, a little here and there but come June I should be able to move on it.

My June List:

Build Pipe Bender
Build Cage
Procure my Motor
Build motor mounts
fit motor


Lofty goals.......but that's how I roll.

Sweet progress dude!

Forgive me if you've mentioned it before, but why did you opt for E28 adjustable camber plates?

[slammin.e28]

In for pipe bender because I know you're going to make something awesome and I'm going to want to copy you.

Sweet progress dude!

Forgive me if you've mentioned it before, but why did you opt for E28 adjustable camber plates?

The E28 plates are thinner from top to bottom, they're also all metal, which makes them noisier but also give you better overall feel of the car. But as the pictures show there is some modifications needed to make them work. I know that FE4R used them and really likes them. Hopefully they're worth it, the overall cost was cheaper so that was a plus too.

HAHA, well it should come together nicely, if you like what you see we can work out a deal!

I have a feeling this thread is about to get juicy.

[IronFreak]

I have a feeling this thread is about to get juicy.

Yes......yes it is.... I have been having several conversations with my buddy that's helping me on what steps I should take next. I think I will be getting the motor and working on fitment with that. At the same time building the bender for the cage.

I am preparing myself for the return quote on the DOM tubing......I plan on buying enough to do 3 cages so I can get a little price break....that being said even with my connections it's going to be a steep price tag.....
