Hmmm, maybe yours is as bad or worse... lol

[IMG]However it's been pretty low on the list as I'm treating it as a true build where paint/body comes last after all the real work is done. (over the next 48 years)

Reasonable goals!

Car is is gonna be sweet though!

My car needs paint and body in the worst way. It must have been painted by THE most retarded meth head in east Texas. However it's been pretty low on the list as I'm treating it as a true build where paint/body comes last after all the real work is done. (over the next 48 years)

T
Idk about that brotha. But I agree the paint and body is pretty low on the list for now. Just ready to get it reliable and enjoy driving it.

I dread doing all this on the floor, I'm getting too old for it ha. But saving the money welding them up myself allows funds for more toys on the car. It def needs more than yours, especially in the paint department.

I guess I should start my own thread instead of taking over yours!

Funny you mention that, it's exactly what I'm trying to finish up (SFC install). I spent yesterday morning working on it and should be done this week now that I have more welding gas. That said, welding them on laying under the car really sucks and I should have just paid a shop to install them. I'll try go get some pics up this week if work calms down.

Yep, I was leaning that way too, trying to get subframe connectors installed before the IRS or at least at the same time to make it easier.

I feel like I know your pain, I have had the car a bit and only driven it very few times. Ready to get it on the road.

I used the maximum Motorsport braided ones.

Here's a pic of what it should look like underneath (not my car).

Hey man, sorry, I had to renew my VIP membership so inbox is available again.

Are you asking about the brake line fittings? (NAPA part numbers)

WH 1442 - M10x1.0 to 3/8-24 adapters (to connect hard lines to soft lines - two needed)
WH 702X3 - Three way 3/8-24 Tee fitting
BK 8131204 - 20" pre-fabbed 3/16" hard line with 3/8-24 fittings
BK 8131205 - 30" pre-fabbed 3/16" hard line with 3/8-24 fittings

And yeah, I'll try to get some updates on the car posted today as I've done a lot since the last update.

Excellent! This is exactly what I was after, thank you very much.

I hope to see updates soon. I picked up a notch thanks to this thread.

Hey bird dog, your inbox is full, just a shot in the dark but do you still have those part numbers for the brake parts for the IRS swap? Trying to emulate your car to a certain extent and picked up an IRS today. Any help you could throw my way would be much appreciated.

P.S. its time for an update on the car.

That's the same combo I'm going to be running on my car.

I wanted to be sure it would start up first, which it did within 1 second of cranking... I still need to install that, and lower the idle after making sure the MS2PNP can see and control the timing properly, idle is currently like 1500 so I think it's the adjustment screw which I had to mess with on the stock ECU but so far so good, I'm impressed.
