The shaved 88 Shitaco

damn those fronts are so tiny, never saw a mk1/2 kit before. Cant wait to see it installed. Not sure If irontrap is making pans or parts anymore. I think you would have better lucky with mattrad as he was making them for a little while.

I know Matt will still take orders for pans for time to time but Matt would be just as good and may have a faster turn around. Both are solid guys.

Me and a buddy were talking about you winning the air ride before I saw the build thread. Can't wait to see how it looks all together!

If you want any help with the install Trevor just hit me up and I'll come down and hang out one weekend. (As long as I'm taken to Cane's for lunch or dinner)

Also hit up Irontrap for the oil pan and pick up.

HOOLEEE what a build!! (just read the whole thing today)

Congrats on winning the air kit, that's going to be amazing on such a unique car.

Great work on saving it from the scrap yard.

Gives me inspiration to go further with my build than I was thinking. Going to have to teach myself/ learn to paint and weld I think.

Looking forward to updates on the air install

Today started off lame. Forgot one of my classes was canceled and wasted too much time. Towards the end of my third class I began dozing off. I was so excited to take a nap before my last class but when I got home... this was at my door.



Needless to say I scattered it all over my bed and I've been way to excited to take said nap.















First off I feel the need to thank Stanceworks and Air Lift once again. I cannot fathom what my car possesses that makes it a worthy winner for such a contest, after all it's kind of a strange platform. Regardless, I will make the most of this opportunity and I will be installing the kit this weekend! I will probably need to do another frame notch and a custom shallow oil pan/pump, but I'll do what I can for now. I have no experience with air but after a call from Air Lift last week to congratulate me and say my stuff had shipped, I have no doubts I can tackle this. I'm sure I'll have questions along the way but after owning this car for over 9 years, I'm very familiar to the idea of learning as I go.

I was kind of skeptical of air ride to be honest, and knew the price tag was immense compared to my $300 eBay 'oh crap i need coils for H2O' coilovers. I couldn't imagine why it cost so much until I unboxed that kit. I tend to think I have an eye for details and I really appreciate builds that cover subtle touches that most people will miss. This seems to be the suspension version of that same idea. It's not often you come across something that seems very durable yet encompasses fine details on every piece. Every single component is of top notch quality, and I could go on and on about every detail (I think the top hats on the front struts are my favorite though).

I'm sure everyone is tired of reading this, so I'll get back to the mediocre pictures very soon when I'm doing the install

Congratulations man! I can't even imagine winning something that cool! You deserve it!

Congrats on winning the #livelower contest! Nice to see it went to someone from Kentucky!

Congrats man!

You bastard. But congrats

I just read this whole thread. Dudddeeeee Congrats on winning! I can't wait to see it on air!

Congrats on winning!

Thank you all very much! I promise I'll keep updating this once it comes in.

Any chance you want to throw up your wheel builds in the Wheel & Tire section on Vortex (or here) so we can roll it into The Official Wheel Build Almanac & Reference Thread?

Here's my build:

My Road To Futura: OZ Build/Timeline

I had a few wheel build threads on another forum that spanned over a few years. Unfortunately the forum shut down one day and I lost all of those threads. I probable have some pics of it but would have to go through years of my Photobucket to find all the progression. I have lots of specific BBS info I've gathered and learned though. Hopefully I can hope in some way.
