Well its been awhile since I have updated this. We got held up by the first powder coater that I went to for a month, who did not finish the job. So I ended up taking the tin to Prism Powder Coating Services ( [http://www.prismpowdercoat.com](http://www.prismpowdercoat.com) ). Who did an awesome and timely job. Heres where it stands as of tonite. ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/300.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/300.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/301.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/301.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/302.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/302.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/304.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/304.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/305.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/305.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/306.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/306.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/307.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/307.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/308.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/308.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/309.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/309.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/310.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/310.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/311.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/311.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/312.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/312.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/313.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/313.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/314.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/314.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/315.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/315.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/316.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/BCAM302/316.jpg) ---

Man I have been meaning to update this, But just have not had the chance. I will hope fully have the car out tomorrow to take some new pictures since its been completed. We weight it last week and it is now 83lbs lighter. I had to cut almost a full coil out of the front springs to get it back to the ride height it was before. I had a problem before with it bending tierods if it came down hard. And it seems that its goin to be a even bigger problem now. The front frame is goin to have to be noched I believe. I really have to thank all my friends for giving me a hand in all the work that was done over the last 7 or 8 months. Especially Jeff Little, with out him it would have never turned out the way it did. I learned a great deal from working with him on this and he really showed me the importance of taking your time. I think between him and I had somewhere in the neighbor hood of 2000 hours doing this. I don’t believe it could have turned out any nicer. I don’t want to take away from any of the site sponsors but if your looking for anyone to do this type of work keep him in mind. you can contact him at 724-941-9120.
