The paint on the A-Arms is a textured metallic rattle can paint that looks even better in person then that pic. Rustoleum makes it. The powdered stuff is black chrome. ---

Thanks! I am going to run it stock motor till it lets go them build something for it so im not sure how fast it will be but hoping to push around 600-650rwhp for now. I did sell the rx7, bought a new house, etc etc, missed cars so got back into this nova and the 69 maro this year. ---

Should be good for a few hp i hope. I havent wrenched on this thing since the weekend. So much work to do. Damn builds. This new TCI front clip is pretty rad though. Just bought a new steering column as well. Needed a $300 kit to make the old one work on the mustang II rack so figured I might as well get one of the cool aftermarket ones. SIQ ---
