Its the truth, this car belongs in every single one of those!

Hey Synner, just sent out a package for you today. it's "COOL"

************************************************** ****
Pfadt Trailing Arms and Tie rods came in a few days ago. Man they look good in their raw form. looks very racey and mechanical.

We almost decided to keep them like that. But to keep with the theme, we started monkeying with them. I took a pic of them side by side, polished and brushed. We both agreed that we like the brushed look better.

BTW, sorry for the bad pics. Somehow, the battery for the SLR got misplaced AGAIN. There's too much cr@p everywhere LOL

This weekend should be interesting as we are going to be working on getting all of the suspension back under the car so that we could get it on wheels. we need it somewhat mobile to take it to a shop where we will be putting in the cage. stay tuned...

Those trailing arms look great in there..... now we should talk about getting you some of our new Pfadt headers!

I need new headers too - well I need to get a new camaro first. But when I do - I'll need headers

Doc thats the factory glass. I don't know what I was thinking when the guys came out to remove the front glass, I forgot to tell them to remove the rear

Great work

Thanks Jeremy, she is starting to look like a car again.

Vroom it definitely was encouraging to see her as a roller even if it just a mock up!

Question though Nathan - can I ask why you didn't go with Racing Brake? Are the StopTech rotors lighter than RB's?

Are you referring to the RB BBK coming out or just the Rotors?

I'm not sure how they compare to RB rotors in weight, but the front ST rotors are 21lb 380x32mm, and the rear are 19lb 355x32mm. I believe the RB are factory sizes to maintain compatibility with the stock calipers.

We went with the trophy STR calipers because they are 20% lighter than the regular ST calipers. They are also a stronger design. We went with 6-pot front and 4-pot rear.

We'll make sure to post lots of pics when they come in
