KEWL. Bet you are having fun this weekend!!! Right on. Do it all at once...
BTW, what are those two bars that are above the panhard and below the strut tower brace? They look like support braces of some sort.

they are the two other pieces of the edelbrock three point stb, they go from the main bar to the firewall..
yeah i cant wait for my tds wonderbar, full exhuast from slp, and ram air 1 hood to show up.
my dad just bought my and my brother a tool set, so alot of modding to going to happen real soon
my grandfather is pretty confident we can weld on the subframe connectors and relocation brackets with his welder.
we will get the front of the car on ramps, then for the rear ramps or jack jackstands on the rear axle.
they look very easy to do once you have them bolted to the rear lca's and all lined up.
what type of welder is needed to do this kind of welding?
if i can found out i will tell him to make sure he has the right type of welding equipment.

Spohn's a lovin' you!!! Wow that's an assload of parts.... I bet your wallet hurts...
As far as the welding equipment goes, using a TIG welder will give you the neatest, cleanest welds but not everyone can TIG worth a damn and those machines aren't cheap. You will be just fine using a MIG, IE wire welder.
Good luck!

What do you mean by you got the wrong ones? Wrong application? Or are they not a good part to use? Let me know. Thanks.

For info on MD's Earl's brake line fiasco, read this thread:

Wow what a hassle, and blame Earl's for it, not Steve.

I guess you problly still have plenty left to get too.
Like bushings, ball joints, and front spring isolators. how about shocks & struts ?
And now would be a great time to do the motor mounts.
I'm sure you thought of those though..
I just installing alot of the same parts and you should be happy with the upgrade,, I am..

well i was concerned with doing rear suspension first and worry about the front later 
i am about to order poly tranny mount, poly sway bar bushings and poly endlinks.
as far as shocks, maybe
86-TC-2501-P HAL Adjustable Rear Shock, 1982-2002 F-body (each)
$139.99
99-HAL-HW Thunder Racing Grade 8 Rear Hardware Kit for HAL Shocks (Hardware for both shocks)
$10.00
also thinking about the Rear Coil-Spring Airbags

Get KYB GR-2 shocks and struts, they rock! And they aren't that expensive either.
And take my advice and don't put on poly motor mounts, I did and I had them removed as soon as I could, way too much vibration transmitted to the chassis. Unless your car isn't a daily driver then I'd say go ahead.
