Glad to know you are still lurking in the shadows. I hope all is well my friend. How is the beach life these days? I'm in cruise mode right now. Can't say I will be home or not. You never know?

Hi Jeff.
I was just looking at the ground control shocks setup that BradHolio said he could hook me up with. It cost about 2K for that particular setup for all four corners.. Do you have a sense of waht are you going to run for bars, springs and shocks? (Brands, etc) AND... Since I'm tearing into the body work and minor suspension mods. What would you do if you were going to throw some bucks at the chassis? The Engman long kit is a must as well as the sway bar braces. What else would suggest for a flared car with 7s and 8s stickys for the street and occasional A/X? What bracing can I do while the car is apart that creates enough rigidity and still be streetable and affordable? I am thinking a 4 point cage with a down bar that attatches right below the door hinges and goes back to the sill/long area next to the trunk release. 6 points actually. My fear is transferring to much flex to the wheel house and front end. As they are basically stock. I dunno... I just want to hear what you might do for a street and occasional AX car? Note. At the proper time and the proper place........ I drive the streets like it's a track. I have all my life. Thus it is necessary to make this car work without snapping suspension pieces because I am a middle aged nut case. I believe I can build dam near anything given the time and money.. It just doesn't look ANYTHING like your work. I wish I had your mad skilzzzz. By the way. I have 3 new in box intercoolers. Ya know anyone that need any ICs? Cheers, Clayton |

Cheers, Clayton I will be running Bil's front and rear. Sway Away 22mm torsion bars up front and Eibach 250's out back. Tarret bar up front. I am not worried about the suspension pieces taking a beating. Its the chassis that needs help. Engman reinforcements a must. I am going to install reinforcements where the Engman kit stops and continue it all the way back to the rear strut towers as I am raising the suspension pickups. Weight is not that much. Plus the cage ties into the rear rails. Easy as I have not welded the lower firewall in yet. The front is another issue. The cowl flex's considerably which with heavy t-bars may result in cowl shake. To me the best way even with an inexpensive cage would be to tie the cage into the hinge pillars (down low) and high through the bulkhead into the strut towers. If you are thinking 6 pts might as well just add two more tubes (cheap) If you are going front coil overs the strut towers will need to be modified with camber box's or heavily reinforced.

Jeff, what size Or weight springs are those please ? Do only that size or weight come in red like that ? What use is those size springs for (racing, daily driving , to be comfortable, etc,) The reason I ask is I have the same set and shocks on my car that came from another car. Thank you.

Hi Jeff,
Can you share how you are doing your media blasting in your rust repairs? I agree with you comment about trying to grind the rust out because it removes to much metal. I want to buy some media blast equipment but I am not sure what equipment to get. Thanks |

I agree with you comment about trying to grind the rust out because it removes to much metal. I want to buy some media blast equipment but I am not sure what equipment to get. Thanks I use both a professional forced pressure gun (hopper type) and a cheap hand held suction gun with a huge nozzle (Home Depot bucket is the hopper). Forced for larger areas and the hand held for smaller spot areas. I do not use sand. I use Dupont Starblast ( I think I posted somewhere way back about the Starblast). Process is straight forward. Blast until the rust is gone. Wear gloves, a windowed hood and proper respirator. I lay out a big blue poly tarp under the work area to catch the spent media and then recycle it by sifting it thru a ultra fine strainer to remove the contaminants. (pain but it works) Since I am doing this project in stages I try to work smaller areas that can be started and completed without leaving exposed metal for periods of time. |

We appologize for the interuption. We will return to our regular programming in a moment.
No time to work on the tub until now. I feel like the Duracell bunny sometimes. Go,go, go...... Finished the pedal box and pedal board support. A few modifications to the original design but I am happy with the result. Primed, seam sealed and primed again - done Anyone who has worked/ repaired this area knows its tight confines.

Its been 28 degree's at night and raining/ snowing for a week. What is the best way to stay warm? Fire - of course.. Crazy thing is i'm in L.A County...snow? well a little mostly just frig'in cold.
Welded some backers/ reinforcing plates on the inside of the firewall. The thought of the PMS mount supporting a fat six with only 18 guage sheet made me think. While I'm in there add some metal. This is an area most cannot do while in there because its inaccessible. Do it once and never have to worry. No fatigue in the firewall sheet metal at a later date. Two reasons..I can really turn up the heat when I weld the mount in and I can also tie the plates into the cage from inside the passenger compartment. Best thing is its all concealed by the inner firewall. Sano. You get the idea. Better overkill than not enough. Attached image(s)
