Jim, I'm pretty pumped about it. I'm finally reaping the rewards from years of hard work and grit. I still have the business setup as well, even though I've yet to secure a customer yet. I know with patience and prayer good things will happen.
I went to PRI yesterday and was able to do some networking. I'm currently waiting on reply of authorization to purchase direct from some places and avoid some of the markup. We'll see how it goes, one step at a time.

Great article 👏 Cannot imagine the pride you must feel. Wow bro. I'm actually at a loss for words.
Congrats Scott!

Got the passenger side brake mocked up last night. Usually the 2nd time goes easier, but damn it fought me 10x more than the driver side! Looks like I need to either make or buy some shock relocation brackets as the banjo bolts are hitting now.

All I’ll say, yes, that won’t work.

Take Shawn up on the brackets. Then tack on the inside mount and pull the complete rear and clean off those stock mounts. Then put in the outside part of the mount.

PS - put a set of Bilstiens on that thing - it deserves it. 😉 😉

Haha, not pulling the whole rear Jim. However, I wouldn't mind putting some smooth body Vikings on it.

Turns out I don't need relocation brackets at all, yet. My Koni shocks had a stud on them, John (Turna) and I were spitballing ideas. Ended up cutting the flange off, removed the stud and replaced with a grade 8 bolt and nut. It moved the shock up almost 1/2" which gives plenty of clearance. I'll recheck with car on the ground to ensure shock travel doesn't interfere, but for now its good.
Now to figure out brake line brackets and e brake configuration.

Mockup for the driver side is almost done. Gotta figure out where to mount the brake line bracket, and if I need to relocate the shock. Looks badazz though!!!!....View attachment 212502View attachment 212503

Are you able to move the caliper bracket?
