FYI (since Brent brought it up), this is what the SPI black epoxy primer looks like once fully dried. The light is kind of crappy, but you get the idea that it's more of a satin black finish. My other pics were all taken right after spraying, so the finish was glossier than it actually turned out to be.  

I'm not whoring up my own thread, I promise.

So I figured I would share a "bangin' parts update" (that's a krabben-ism). I ended up going with an "upgraded" GT Kit from Keith @ Custom Works for the suspension and part of that kit was some composite rear leafs. They just arrived today. They weigh in at an astonishing 11 lb each. I plan on getting them installed next weekend after a few more parts come in.

Here's what they look like.

Got my solid body bushings and leaf spring shackle kit from PTFB on Friday, so was able to re-install the front subframe and install the composite rear leaf springs. It was kind of a busy weekend with family stuff, so wasn't able to get too much else done. Next weekend should be a little more productive - hopefully I will get the rest of my parts in so I can keep making progress.





This used to be my rotisserie. It did it's job, but time to move on.
