Today

[Harleydave]

Not much progress today. Installed the new lower controll arms, cleaned and painted the spindles with clear engine paint. But then discovered the threads on the upper controll arms wern't the best. so i decided not to use them. I will order new ones on Monday.

It might not be much, but it's still progress...
Looks good.

Wish I'd done that much. Only thing I've done lately is weld and paint repairs on the rockers of my daily driver.

I try and do something on the car every weekend. I'll get there, but there sure are a lot of things to do.

I wouldn't call all the help you give others here nothing...
Someday yours will be done...

+1 on that.

I did some cutting and welding on the rotisserie arms, added an extension for added lift height. Cutting all that steel had to be the dirtiest job I've ever done. My next job should be to install an exhaust fan. My garage looks like the entrance to a coal mine now, guess I'll be cleaning up today.

Caper...,
That's funny...BTDT....you learn the hardway to throw up cheap drop cloths or plastic/tarps/etc. to keep the messes contained!
I know the eagerness to get something done often over-rides the time it takes to do that though.

I have been working on a set of GT fog lights and grill that I bought last week. They are turning out nice I think. I have the bars cleaned up too, but they are all wrapped up. Now I just need to finish the grill and paint it. It's an original set up, not aftermarket.

[Harleydave]

Nice. That's a long way out for me.

LOL, well I have been getting stuff ready for this car. I will start on the bodywork in a couple months. LONG way from being finished, but try to do little stuff at night when I can.

Have you drilled for the 1" Shelby/Arning drop yet?
Opentracker Racing Products - UCA Drop Template
A big improvement in steering, allignment and tire contact patch. If you haven't ordered your UCA yet I'd highly suggest John's standard UCA at ORP, he aligns, deburrs and welds a tab so the caps can't unscrew/loosen. I wasted money on repops the first time, have no idea if they're aligned and the caps did start unscrewing after a few months of driving (marked with a grease pen on install).
