Cool man... cant wait to see the new stance!!!! Burkharts boys know there game. When you say shock/ spring mounts...... are you going coilovers??? Your wale tail would be a great start to do so, something to think about. I would be excited too, if it brings the car closer to paint!! But 12 hours..... damn man that is a water bag trip, anyway it will be well worth the effort!! Catch ya.

Cool Robb they are good mounts. Im sure they have a great rear housing but I would consider a call to Burkhart its very nice and a good bit cheaper. I talked to Chuck last week and he said they were working on my junker!! I had a long list of stuff for them to do so it might take a while. You car is looking good!!!! Later

Hey Dennis, glad to hear there workin on your car!!! I cant wait to see the new look!!! Im guessing that you wont have any pics to update untill it is finished??? A long list sounds good.... as it will mean less to do when you get it back. I am still tossing up a rear end I havent commited to anyone yet.... I will keep burkharts piece in mind. I hope to getsome stuff done this weekend, maybe dummy the front end...... anyway catch ya.

Hey man..... yes Sturgis. Right where the action is. He will be renting it out at festival time in a year of so, he should get about $5,000.00 for the week!!!! Not a bad return for 70k. He said there is some good riding there!!!
A week or two man that isnt long at all..... I bet your so busy at the moment doing other things that you dont have a chance to do when you have the car.. that it makes you think how do I have time for the car!!!!
I got some things done on my junk....... I was looking at your build again when I dummied the front end, our parts are similar but not the same. Your kmember, A arms in particular are slightly different. But horses for courses really!!
Yeah... where is Timmy P??? He must be working on the car!!!!
Catch ya.
