Suspension Assembly

Started the Suspension assembly to get it into a roller
Removed the Upper and Lower control arms
Ran into a problem because I don't have a press to replace the bushings with new Polyurethane one's

Steering Installed. Nothing special and very straight forward

Front Inner wheel well installed and coated with Second Skin Spectrum


Rear Inner wheel well panels installed with Second Skin Spectrum



Finally got my Control Arms back from getting the Polyurethane Bushings pressed in.
Had to order new inserts, as cleaning the existing ones would have taken forever
Finally got them installed




Installed the steering wheel as well as the pedals and the brake cylinders

I had to cut the lower shaft from the main piece making sure I didn't cut the inner steering shaft.
Then ended up having to split the outer steering shaft in order to get it off

Master cylinders, notice there are only two for the front and rear brakes
I do not need the clutch so I took the pedal off

Chassis

Removed the body and doors to reveal the chassis
The body is actually very light and can easily be removed with 3 people.



First thing to do is to mark all the Aluminum panels attached to the chassis and drill the holes that will be used to attach them permanently to the chassis.




I will be coating all the panels with a product called Second Skin Spectrum


I have used the Damplifier and the Heat Wave Pro on my dads Corvette to reduce the sound and heat from the tail pipes by at least 10 db.

Arrival

My kit has arrived, YAY!
