BIG REDS wanna be Nick Cage Build thread.

after 2+ months I finally got all of the parts to install my front coilovers. The total control products stuff is very expensive but the fit and quality make it well worth it.

I had to drill out the spotwelds for the upper spring perch as its no longer needed and gets in the way of the coilover top hat

after that I decided the red oxide on the fenderwells might be visible so I hit them with truck bedliner.

with the new top hats the old strut tower brace hit the hood, so I took it off and will be ordering the TCP one as soon as I get some cash.

back looks good but i feel as if the fronts need to be spun up a bit

Looks good but not worth risking fuckin up the fenders in the front. Raise it lil

Car is literally tits. I love it Dave.

played with the stance and got the front sitting perfect.
