WHY DEAR GOD WHY?!!!!

would you use rebar in a car !!!l

.

Beefed up the front cross member in the cut area.

Should look nice after powder coating

[Simple Man]

Cut the cross member for the Arruat wide track suspension.

Welded and Filled in the gap.

Grind.

Now just need to weld 1/8 inch plate to cover the area.

Then off to powder coat.

A big shout out to Murci Me!! The LED switches are a great idea.

It came together pretty well, the last button I didn't work the sticker long enough or the button could of been sanded a bit more.  But over all pretty satisfied, will permanently mount the buttons later.

Now I just need the spindles and brakes!!

[Simple Man]

buttons all in a row.

Mounted the switches.

[Simple Man]

Made the mold for the translucent buttons for the dash switches.  I pressed the button into the play doh and the thickness can out really close, so not much modification needed.

[Simple Man]

Still waiting of Spindles and brake system from Arruat,  been 3 months since ordered and deposit paid.

I did make the modification to the rear.

Also front cross member taken out , for easier cut clean & paint.

Thank you! Where did you buy the switches?Did you end up putting stickers on those buttons from your pictures or different ones?

For the switches I will use a semi translucent button so the light shines through the white part of the sticker. I was just testing the stickers to see if they stuck to a domed button top.

Here are the two switches,  Google and you should be able to come up with them as it has been a while ago since purchased.

To test out how they worked on a domed button I used the blank sticker fro the set.

Used my fingers as a squeegee to heat up the sticker, so it would conform to the domed shaped button.

Worked pretty well.

[Simple Man]

Here is the size of the stickers and the button.

Do you have a web link for those switches?. Also, who did the switch graphics  for you? This will be a very clean build when done. Headers look niceee. Keep it up!

[Simple Man]

ZZP headers and OEM crossover are back from the ceramic coating place.
really turned out nice

Like them better than the raw stainless.

[Simple Man]

Been pretty sick and havent done a thing on the car... o

Thanks to Murci Me for the very useful information on the switches for the dash.  With some semi-translucent buttons they will work out great!!

[Simple Man]

Went with the ZZP SS headers.  From what I read, prior to ordering, they didnt have the fitment issues of the Pace Setter product. 

Well what do you know, the internet was correct this time , there were no fitment issues.

I will get the inside and outside ceramic coated, while I wait for my spindles and brakes from Arruat. Talked to Richard today and he just ordered the parts.
