Got the rest of the underbody cleaned up. Will paint it tomorrow. I powder coated a few more things today. Hopefully I can start assembling the car this weekend.

Thanks guys. I painted the rear suspension today. A few more parts came in so time to get the motor back in and assemble the rest of the car.

Scj- the bolts and washers are from allens fasteners. The studs you see hold my nitrous bottle mounts in place.

Was going to work on getting the motor in but I screwed up big time with the clear in the engine bay. Apparently I didn't mix enough hardener in and the surface still has a very light "tack" to it. I'm going to have to sand it down and redo it

Couple of pics of the rear suspension all painted up.
