Oh hey, where in Kentucky are you? It's always cool to see local guys on here. I live in Berea, about 45 minutes south of Lexington.

I'm in northern Kentucky (basically Cincinnati ohio) I was just in bowling green ky for the importaliance fall meet

Save your $$$ to build the EG right instead of spending it into this car if you really don't plan on keeping it for too long.

Oh yeah.

Or you could just go get a 'maaco special' urethane paint job. They look pretty good and last for a few years. Just bondo over the small dents and pull the rest.

$400 with some time and you could have a fairly clean teg.

Thanks for the links

you did what needed done! Best would be to plate it up to make sure it's solid. But some would argue it's useless.

I can get the front wing and the whole rat look thats begenning to emerge, but I'm realy not a fan of the war plane style mouth and teeth... and you got it on backwards.

The war plane teeth is covering some body damage, so yes I know it's backwards, I hope to find a eg to build but in the mean time have some fun with this trashed teg

But really am I the only one that has ever had the ball joint rub the rotor?

[Meeve]

Well... This seems a bit getto

I normally won't bag on peoples personal style but this car's a mess. Start over please.

[Rob_Da_Hood]

Ok I'm having a isue. My lower balljoint nut is rubbing the rotor . Anyone ever had that problem? I have my coilovers screwed all the way down

And post are pointless with out pics so here

Before going lower I would clean up the car a bit, it looks atrocious. Yeah, cut holes where it hits. You could extend the metal out to retain rigidity, but it won't make that much difference on a street driven car anyway.

Seems like a fun project, can't wait to see where this goes.

Yeah due to a few life uncontrollable facts I have given up on the "simple clean" look and decided to embrace more of a "hood rat" "rat rod" style

I know but now I need help, how do I keep the front upper control arms from hitting the shock tower?
