Do you have stock upper arms? If so they are thicker than the BMR tubular units. I'll go out to the shop in a bit and see where clearance is needed.
They are stock. Also I’m using metaltek mounts which I don’t think has me set back as far as you are. I’ll be swapping to UMI arms soon. On my other cutlass I had Spohn arms and had a ton more clearance.

Finished welding and grinding the hood, put the first skim of filler down. Then sat and stared at the car while drinking a beer trying to figure out what I am going to do with the paint.....then had another beer....then turned off the lights.

Wrapped it out in 1st gear, shifted into 2nd, and let off, then 3rd.

She's looking good, I am a fan of that color. What are you leaning towards?

Thanks. I love the colour as well but it’s in need of some touch ups and a dent fixed on drivers door from some a$$ that broke into it. Tried having paint mixed and both times it didn’t match. Was told because of the pearl. I am kinda leaning towards a satin/semigloss black or if I can get the same dark blue metallic in satin that is the other option.

I was going to say a buddy of mine had a Cutty your color and said that mine was pretty close to the flat version of it.

I started to clean up the mess that is my engine bay. This is just with citrus degreaser, microfiber cloths, a plastic bristle brush, and a "bucket-o-towels." She also has new plugs, wires, pcv valve, and air filter. I made and crimped my own battery, starter, and alternator cables- upgraded to 2 AWG and 4 AWG as well. Added a new powermaster 150 amp alternator too- just for good measure.
