Tons of progress but no pics lol sorry guys

Valve springs, seats, seals, and retainers done  
Crank balancer and bolt removed and everything is ready for the cam install  
Rear calipers painted  
All six pillow ball bushings replaced, this now means all the bushings in the car are now replaced with delrin or rod end type. Helllooooooooo pot holes  
Dust shields removed and the spindles are painted(not sure what to call them)

Still a TON of work to get done and well I have been neglecting school a tiny bit. Just decided to go to Florida next week as well. So like all builds it will be behind schedule as my time is going to be spend elsewhere but I am still trying to get it done asap and not neglect the more important things.

Wheels look super dope on but like 2min after test fitting I started tearing the car apart as always.

Last night we mostly finished the cam install, new cam is in and everything is done but I still need to tq the crank bolt. So for the motor I need to still bolt on the new headers when they show up, make an intake, make an exhaust, and then clean up some wiring. Here are some random pics I snapped yesterday.

most expensive bushings in the universe(rear pillow balls)
