Painting parts that are clearly visable is nice, but id rather stab my eyes out then do all that work..


I just power wash the underside of the car, and leave it be.....OCD doesnt own me

Man, your polish job on the exhaust shames mine! Suck that it comes as rough looking from GMMG as it does. Mine had several areas of weld splatter all over it. Looks like I'm gonna have to wrestle the damn thing out again and try to polish it more when I stick the CME on come spring. Mine is looking for a rather intensive clean up underneath, but I don't think it will go as far as the undercoat removal, yet... Look forward to seeing the rest of your progress! Oh, and a 4 post lift sure would make that chassis detailing a lot easier for you

As soon as I get some time this week, I will post up some more pics when I get to the front. I agree, a shiney tq arm would be nice, but my budget has been maxed. And a lift, well it would be really sweet to have.

Took time Saturday to get the brakes back on the rear, so I can check that off. Now since the rear is done, I started on the front. Time to get the headers off so they can get Jet Hot coated and drop that stock K member. The TTS headers are showing rust though the welds, but the worse is the abuse they took from the gravel. If you look closely at pic three, you can still see gravel from Road Atlanta between the K and body. Its everywhere. Lots of parts are having to come off and the clock keeps ticking.




Next will be the installation of the new K. I am waiting for my A-arms from UMI. They stil havn't arrived.

Thanks guys. The car has been on stands since October. I got the K member out of there this morning and the headers will ship out Monday. Lets just say it was raining gravel on my head. LOL

Talk about a mild restoration! This is nice man. Once I buy a house and get a garage....my car will be put down for a year or so. Pull the motor, build it, paint the car, detail the underside/engine, paint the suspension. Mine will be a project and a half. But I am blessed with OCD so I can't wait!!!!!

Haha
Nice work

Andy
