Nice work. [Cool] Those sway bar links are my favorite. Is it powder coated or painted?

You need to spend a little more time and elbow grease on the rims.

Looks great Rob! [Cool]

Your front sway bar might work a little better with some end links though... [Razz]

Gonna make the club Fall cruise with the wagon all together?

The sway bars are painted "as-is" from OPGI. Pretty decent price on the bars. I bought them when they just got settled in their new digs and had 25% off sale.

Ha, funny you saw that. I was told by Energy Suspension to hold off on those until I have the BB in and the body on as the end link height should be tall enough to keep the bar parallel to the ground. I didn't want to go with stock height links due to the major geometry changes of the suspension and lowered springs.

Good eye!

OK I WANT the wheels back Rob!! Man they look good. Time well spent. Everything is looks real good. Keep up the good work. Want to bring it to car craft? It would turn some heads just the way it is. Since Dave's not bringing his. Not that his wouldn't turn some heads also!!!!!!!!!

Print money in your basement... that's what I do. [Big Grin]

What springs & sway-bars did you get?

Looks like KYB shocks with pictures taken from angles to not show the logos in an effort to keep me from giving you crap. [Wink]

I tried to do that, but the FEDS already warned me that they had surveillence on you! [Eek!]

The front bar is 1 1/8" and the back bar is 1". The springs are from Hotchkis and they are 1" lowering spring all around. So, with the Stage 2 kit,(minus the aluminum turnbuckles) and a 1" lowering spring, Mark said I would be right at a 13/4"-2" drop in the front. I guess we'll see what I end up with when the motor and body go back on. [Confused]

LOL. I didn't even notice the decals were not in the pictures. Had I known YOU were going to look at them, I would have printed off logos from Bilstein and stuck it over my KYB's just for you! [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]
