Here are some before and after pics of my car. Still gotta work on some body lines and drive it a bit to get any bugs out. Figure I'll get it painted in 3-4 months

On frame machine

Gonna tune some this weekend if I get my title by tomorrow....otherwise I gotta wait till next week. Insurance won't steal my money until I have the title in my hand from the state. Check your carfaxes...my car went from salvage to a CLEAN title. You can still see the salvage history in carfax but some who don't check wouldn't ever know this car t-boned a tree. BTW..I bought it to drive myself...not to try and rip someone off. Not as nice as everyone elses but I'm working on it.

To make this on topic...when set as stated (per Incons instructions) my actuators make 5psi. I intend to run 13+psi

I agree looks good. Nice job. The first pics were scary.
Id like to see the face on the guy at the light w/ his new black shinny zo6, as he thumbs his nose at the patchwork machine, the gets tromped by the TTvert beast.

Thanks! Hopefully it won't look patch work too long. The guy did a super job on the frame....sleeved.....plug welded and butt welded replacement frame horns. The inspector could not tell they had been replaced even when I showed him where they were spliced. After I got the motor/tranny in, I lifted the car by the bumber support and then jumped up and down on it...it held fine so that seemed good enuff test for me. I have to admit that the vert is a much different feel than a t-top car. I have sfc but they aren't on yet. Can't wait to see how they improve the feel. Just got it aligned yesterday. Guy had no probs aligning the bmr k-member and upper/lower a-arms. I need to get the alky kit on and start saving some money again. I think it'/s gonna be a pig tho.....I installed everything but the spare tire....stereo..amp...etc

Looks great. Naming the car Lazarus is very appropriate.

Thanks so much guys!!! It has been a lot of hard work with more to go. i want to get all the body lines right and some more body work done before I get it painted. Can't afford it now anyway. Right now I just want to DRIVE!!!

Mightymouse- my g/f likes the Formula bumper better...we saw some at G8...who knows what the future holds.

I figured lazarus was very appropriate...I can't tell you how many local people want to know if I sold "that wrecked car" to buy "this" one
