    Thanks boss... we scrubbed the crap out of them for a few hours before laying down the undercoating and it paid off.

    We were able to get the frame back under the car this weekend. Installed the front Pro Forged steering components and the rear suspension. Waiting on the new gear box to come in and a deal on some 15" rollers and she will be ready to go to paint jail.

    I honestly never paid attention to it... just looked at the arms on my El Camino and they are different from the arms you posted and the arms that I just installed.

    Thanks! Which change are you referring to? They actually offer multiple designs now (adjustable, non adjustable, coilover mount only, spring or coilover mount)

    We were able to get all of the UMI front suspension and the Wilwood front brakes installed today. Unfortunately we didn't have the UMI engine mounts to install so we will be ordering those this week.

    Possibly... I ran the stainless lines on my El Camino and the fittings were also coated in different colors

    Correct that’s how they came.... not all of them are blue and I doubt the coating is very durable. I believe they used different colors to help provide customer with detailed instructions for installation

    Thanks! We used a commercial grade rubberized undercoating made by Class C Solutions Group. It lays on pretty smooth with a light texture. the part number on the can is BD1137

    Started installing some of the rear suspension while we had plenty of space to access everything. Also went ahead and installed the G-Force cross member, pre-bent brake lines, and fuel lines

    We cleaned up her “belly” a little bit before installing the freshly coated frame

    Wilwood Brakes also came in. We went with a 6 piston front setup with 12.19" rotors and a 4 piston rear with 11" calipers. This will allow him to have the option of running a 15" wheel later.

    Frame is back from power coating. Arizona Powdercoating did an excellent job coating the frame.
