Talking A fun day....

Started the below parts install at 930cst today (by myself). I did the Tokico Adj. shocks yesterday. Total time for both was 8 hours.

All BMR parts:

Relocation Brackets
Adj. Panhard Rod
Panhard Brace
Adj. LCA
UCA
UCA Bracket

Pinion angle is -2 (Auto, did not have to adjust)

Road tested and the launches are incredible.

I'm sore and its time for a few beers, I'll be 41 in 9 days, its nice to know I still have this kinda work in me.

Ahhh, the satisfaction of a job well done by yourself.
Much better feeling than picking her up from the mod
shop and paying the bill....

Next mods include either 3.73s or 4.10s (auto car), a new CDC aggressive chin (my CDC Classic chin was damaged in a near collision), Silverhorse racing louvers (replacing existing), FRPP cams, LT headers, one piece drive shaft, and eventually a Whipple kit with possible lower end engine work.
