BIG REDS wanna be Nick Cage Build thread.

Normally it would, but ive put ALL of my free time into it trying to get it done for this season.

hey do you want my stock shifter?

Not sure. Really if its gonna feel the same I dont think its worth a swap. Id like to drive a car with the stock one and see how it feels.

Nice that youre doing something productive with your free time. Im wasting mine on the fucking computer.

the one in the car is like butter, just has longer thows, your welcome to come over and check it out if you want.

Maybe I will one of these days. Mine might be adjustable so Ive gotta look into that. It came with the used tranny so I dont have info for it.

I eagerly await the finished product, good to see you have the ambition to get keep it moving at a nice pace.

im gonna need it buffed when its done u think u can do it? I want it super detailed :lol

Got my fender flares all fitted today, I’m surprised with the fit, it was very nice, I don’t have to cut them in multiple pieces to make them fit.

lookin tighttt doing it righttt

I ordered the last of the ext stuff yesterday, rear bumper, mirrors, and the billet grilles.

spent some time doing the last little details to get the car ready to go to the body shop.

I made some supports for the lower nose/fenders. The front end is real solid now and doesnt flop around at all.

Dave, idk how low your idea of low will have your front bumper but if its like low low those brackets are going to work against you.

A loose bumper can move when it bottoms out thats why the bumper on my car only has one crack and that actually wasnt from me driving it

Yea i know thats the only reason my VW still has a bumper. the car will be low but not slammed. it will hit the exhaust way before the bumper

stance will look like this when done, a little bit more poke in back tho because im running 9.5 in wheels vs 8 as pictured.
