Been working on the build for awhile now and going to finish it this year. So I figured I better start to post some pics.

Just got in a shipment of new parts from spohn. Now waiting to get my ford 9" from quick performance to bolt everything together.

Also got a pair of rear c5 rotors for the kore3 conversion. Only have 2000 miles on them. Got them for free because a vette owner didn't like how they were rusting and wanted to upgrade to the ones that were painted black. I will eventually get slotted and drilled but these will work for now.

I got quite a bit done this last month. I got the front coilovers installed. Once I got the ford 9 from quick performance I got all the rear end components bolted in. After that found some wheels off a s-10 to bolt on until I get the body on to measure for backspacing. Then I cleaned and prepped the underside of the vehicle to apply the por15. And just got the body back on the frame yesterday thanks to a couple of helpful neighbors. Went back together with all new bushings and bolts. I had a couple cage nuts that I had to use a tap on, other than that it went pretty smooth.

Here are some pics. Tell me what you think.

A couple pics after putting the coilovers in. It was definitely a task getting them compressed with no weight on them. I ended up using a 2x4 between the frame and an I-beam in the garage.

And some more. Por15 is some good stuff. I will definitely use again.
