He is located in Tennga, Georgia somewhere! He does some fantastic work, little to no body work required on his parts!

Make out a list of things that may require rework and tape it to your bathroom mirror!      Where is John Watson located?  He sure turns out premium work.     Jim

[usmc_butler]

Hey jim I will check into that soon, hate to back track just yet, forward progress is working right now! Soon I'll be going back and fixing stuff that isn't up to my liking and ill put that on my list of things to look at...


On another note, ordered my front bumper from John Watson and I just got a PM my headlight buckets and glass are on there way 

[01Lambiero]

Yes, that's what I mean.  If you put a level on the head of your strut bolt, you can see how much lower the strut is.  Better to have the strut in the oem position so that you can adjust your coils to your advantage.  Jim

Im still working on the axle situation... I think I can have a machine shop do a little work with drilling the larger axle out and sliding the smaller axle in and do some welding and pipe sleeve and more welding. that will work until I can pull them out and have custom ones made at least I will have something to show them.

The way the rear adapter works right now it lowers the car about 1 1/2" to 2" (just guessing) the coil over is almost all the way up so, we will see when I do a test run on the chassis

[01Lambiero]

You can see that the bottom of your strut is lower with your adapter.  Were you intending to lower your chassis or did it end up ok?  I suppose you could compensate by adjusting your coilovers up.  I have seen these brackets made both ways but it seems to me that the holes should be horizontal (trapizoidal) rather than a square pattern.  You could just try it out and if it works for you, run with it.  I believe that Moser Axles can make just about any length center shafts if you can't come up with a suitable length for fit.  Jim

[usmc_butler]

That looks much better, this is what I currently have, so you are saying to go more at down angle? The last picture are my extended A-arms I had them extended 2 1/2 inches on each side so that leaves me with just enough room for the adapter to mount my wheels...

Got my OEM Replica door hinges and door handles in yesterday from SchulzeA and I must say that is prob the best money ever spent! Packaging was fantastic everything was sealed in plastic, parts were perfect and shipping was fast! I cant wait to start working on my doors, latches and handles.

01lambiero, thank you for the measurements on the hinges that allowed SchulzeA to make the fantastic door hinges ...

[usmc_butler]

Here is the overhead console I have coming. Its defiantly not in the best shape but can be molded and fixed

[usmc_butler]

Here is the size of the OEM ones

[usmc_butler]

Those look near identical to mine! Put a tape measure on them so I can compare. I might just sell my OEM ones and go with those since they have the ring.

[Tallon]

yeah I have chrome rings with my pontiac vents I'm not sure if they are the same size but they seem like they are, I don't know if I'll be happy with the actual vents because they're a little different
