And a better anti roll bar. I am getting ready to order the one from TRZ and upgrading the shock to DA Menscer Motorsports. That will help big time

Finally got the much needed anti roll bar in. The TRZ anti roll is a very nice piece!

I also decided to try a different cam from last year so I contacted Martin at Tick again and had him spec out a new cam

I had the BMR extreme which is just a heavy duty sway bar. It worked very well until I got deeper into the 1.2x 60' range. When we tried to hit it harder at the line it would drive out of the groove on the rear tires everytime

I really don't think that was it but I could be wrong about that. Why are you leaning towards panhard more so than sway bar?

I haven't but also the class I run requires stock style suspension. Either way the TRZ set up should solve my problem once it's set up correctly

What did you do for paint. It looks way better than a rattle can job.

It's actually automotive base coat clear in spray cans. It's matched up based on your paint code. The paint is in one can and the clear is in another.

Where did you get the paint and what brand is it? How is the prep work and did or can you wet sand/polish it?

Looks really good man!

Automotivetouchup.com is where the paint and clear came from. For prep I just removed as much as I could and tapped the rest. Sanding was just done with red scotch brite. Wiped everything down with thinner before I painted. Not much to it really.

I just drooled on my shirt. Gorgeous car man, excellent craftsmanship, and still a streetcar at that.
