I definitely have an extra set of tubular lowers. I'll look through the stash and see if I have a set up uppers as well.

thank you doug. just let me know.

I checked but had no uppers. Only a set of PTFB lowers I bought but couldn't use because I went the coilover route and another set of PTFB lowers setup for coilovers but with a manufacturing defect so Dave recalled them. I have to send those back once Dave gets me the updated set. Been a couple of months so I need to give him a call. Probably forgot about it in his move.

what you looking to get for the 1 set of lowers?

Think they were $550 or thereabouts. I'd do 400 since I installed them on this build to begin with. They have zero miles on them.

It's been a little while since I have updated this so I'll throw a few photos of the latest progress. It' starting to look like a drivable car. LOL

Bought some Ring Brother's hinges to finish off the under hood look.




Finally got around to mounting the battery in the trunk after much consideration.

Mounted one of the AC line charge ports in a location where it is mostly hidden.

The gas tank with sump and pump have been buttoned up are are back on the car.

I decided to run a 0 gauge ground wire the length of the car and then have it hit 4 busses like the one in the picture below. At each of the junctions, one wire would ground the system to the frame and another would run over to the smaller buss to ground anything installed on it.

I did this at the front of the car, the firewall, the back seat wall and the trunk area. There should not be a lack of a good ground!

The Custom Bezel is now wired up with new gauges.
