And thank you for all the compliments. I was hoping to have this build done within a year and a half......taking a little longer....
Haha. Longer than normal IS normal. Life has it's other priorities. Looks like a great build. I like the original blue but what you are going with looks great. Keep plugging away, it will get there.
I am about an hour from Dallas. So I have spent the last two weeks working on the car when I can. I was able to get the motor and transmission in the car as well as I started reassembling the front suspension. It is taking me a little extra time due to repainting everything I can. I was able to use my engine hoist and raise the car to slide the motor under the vehicle and then lower the body on to the motor. A whole lot easier.
Motor and transmission on the heavy duty cart I have getting ready to roll it under the body.
Right before the install. Only thing I did have to do that is not in the the picture is to place the rear wheels on ramps to get the angle straight due to the height of the motor on the cart.
Installed
Put the spindles on.
Coil over system installed. The BMR coil over installation guide sucks by the way for those that have installed this product. Under the new coil spring is a seat, set of needle bearings, and another seat. The bearings came with no type of lubrication. I just put some waterproof lithium grease on them to help with lubrication.
It has been a very long time since I have updated on this build. I am slowly completing the project. I have come a far way with very little hiccups, except for my rear brakes. Here is some recent photos and the YouTube link for the first run down the road.
