A sneak peak of my upper control arms!!!
I met a man with a dollar, we exchanged dollars and we still had a dollar. I met a man with an idea, we exchanged ideas and now we both have two ideas!!!

Making little progress on my front control arms and was curious what others have used for springs? I'm going mostly same as stock but 2" wider per side, with 1 1/2" lowering springs! What I'm wanting to know is will 400 lb springs be obnoxiously rough, or should I go with the 350 lb springs that I was originally planning on? I'm looking for it to corner like it's on rails without breaking my back! Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!   ::wave

I received my Ford Eurostyle markers, not half bad for about $10!

I have these same markers, they look very good.  You are doing some fine work there bud!

Made a little progress. Started hanging my radiators, they are just kinda tacked in place at the moment till I figure out the rest. Also taking a page out of Butler's build with my coolant lines!!!

I'm excited to see what you come up with for inserts! Hopefully you plan on making a mold cause I'm sure after your glass suggestion there will be a lot of interested folks out there!!!   ::beers

Glad you are happy with the glass! I started making my fiberglass inserts for my quater glass. Hopefully I will get them done this weekend and post some pics.

Cool Thanks.  Did you need big spacers with these? 
I was thinking about getting these wheels rota 18x12 they have a big offset so I thought maybe I could get away with some smaller spacers maybe? But seeing your wheels I am liking them too!

They did require larger spacers in the rear but will eventually be replaced with longer rear a arms! I plan to widen the front as well to eliminate any need for spacers! The rims you have picked out look good  :) I have received my Scion quarter glass and it appears that it will work just fine! I appreciate you posting this as it will be a great alternative. Like you said it will require some sort of trim to take up some of the voids! Thank you Much!!!

Thanks Mike! I purchased 19x12 rear and 18x9.5 front Z06 wheels! I felt it was a good compromise for price and looks! If I remember correctly I gave about 800 bones for all 4!!!
