some work done this weekend! Prepped the frame and painted it. And my buddy came by and detailed the back section till the nose is on. Looks like glass!

I bought a roll off a local body shop $35 for a big roll. Worth every penny

what did you use to paint the tube front. Is it self leveling paint? How good is the finish?

UMI Performance Inc. tubular suspension complete with 18 way adjustable coil-overs on our project TT LSX Buick! Tried to get the rust off the decade old Aerospace Components Inc. brakes. But, she is turning around and getting ready to be a spokes model for 16w Fabworks at TX2K!

Go it on the ground. Can't wait for the suspension to settle and some weight back in it. Should sit nice!!!

What lb spring did you use on the front coil overs-I started with 400, had to switch to 500, I felt I had to screw the 400's up to far
