I couldnt stand the stupid plasti dipped firewall and strut towers. So much better color matched.
Did some repurposing under the car. Getting rid of what I wont use. Cleaning everything up while I have a little free time.

Are those the same make of cathedral heads you used on the camaro? Also is there a reason you didn't stay with Menscer shocks? Just curious because we couldn't keep the front end on the ground either on our car. After seeing what they did for you we got a set and are extremely happy with them. I do realize they are just revalved Afcos. What rotating assembly are you going with and what power level are you going for this time? Best of luck on the new build. Can't wait to see what this one runs.

Yes these are trick flow 245's as well. The only difference is that these are the hip'd version.
The struts work a little better and different on these than the f body shocks. I have friends going 1.09 60's on foxes with strange single adjustables.
So these saved me $5-550 vs buying menscer. If these end up not working for me Im going to put a santhuff on the front.

I havent decided on rotating assembly 100% yet. Im going to do that last and see if I have any money left over to spend on some really nice stuff. Likely itll be callies dragon slayer or magnum. callies ultra I beams. wiseco shelf 4.125's from btr again.

Absolutely the best service and fastest shipping Ive ever seen were these door panels. A lot of companies could take some pointers from the scott rod guy/s.

I would suggest to you the dragon slayer or their billet crank. The magnum is a gun drilled dragon slayer. We have a dragon slayer. I found out later the ultra I beams are stronger than the H beams. Wish I would have known that.
