Good work!!

[Indy510]

Decided to hack it up some more:

[Indy510]

Every trailer fender I could find was 14ag steel .... so I had to make my own, out of 20ag, even though I wanted 18ag

[Indy510]

I was glad it was 20ag steel, cause it took a lot of weird bends to make it fit ... and I was careful to only do spot welds on the quarter panel (after everything else was welded, to not warp everything)

[Indy510]

Sprayed sealer primer, then brushed on zero rust ... and will seam seal all the welds once the zero rust is cured

[Indy510]

Bummed I ruined the re-sprayed patina:

Put a flange on the muffler .... so I could run the exhaust under the axle:

[Indy510]

Made it to that fun-run, after one test drive the night before:

[Indy510]

And immediately took it back off the road: .... to fix the reverse rake:

[Indy510]

Found some 2-1/4" DOM tube that fit perfectly over the 280zx struts:

Turned the welder up to eleven:

I had no idea if this would work ... there's a small spacer under the T3 coil spring top hat:

Reading Just_Joel and Greengoon's threads, I knew I had to use adjustable TC rods and a stock sized sway bar:

And it worked!! .... it drives great, and almost feels exactly like the coilovers did ... just a little softer on bumps:

Bags! more and more I am starting to like them...

They also are great antitheft. How do you steal a car that is laying on the ground?

Car looks rad, Indy.


I need me a welder. And some skills.
