It doesn't seem like I've been busy but when you put it all together, sure.

Rear:
Tires were rubbing in the rear cause my spacers aren't thick enough. So I beat the inner fender in about a half inch with a BFH where the tire was rubbing. Surprisingly thin metal back there! Then I grabbed my friends fender roller and WENT TO TOWN. Actually didn't get to roll it too much cause that metal was thick. Still got it up enough now that now the rear does not rub what-so-ever anywhere when doing tight corners. I think with the a little more spacer I can run 315's in the rear no problem cause the 295's have lots of room.

Front:
Still am not finished with my big break kit so until that happens I completely boxed my a-arms in, pressed poly bushings, painted them black, and put them back together. Looks good! Then I installed my solid tie rod adjusters. What a huge difference all this made. Now I need bracing and lots of it.

Looking good! So how does the car handle with the big block? does it push in the corners? get a chance to drift it yet? what kinda suspension set up do you have?

Oh wow. I forgot to mention that I hogged out the lower strut holes to allow me to move the strut further in on the tower cap. I think it must have worked, well, that and everything else. With 34mm front 24mm rear bar and 255 front 295 rear BFG KDW's, the car handles fairly nuetral around the roundabout by my house. If anything I might loosen the front bar cause the back end was stepping out just a little when nuetrally throttled.

Can anyone else comment if they slotted strut holes? Currently my strtu caps are all the way in so the struts basically touch a little in the allowed hole and I only have about a 0.5* camber.

@cameron, I'll be moving to eugene weekend so I might be a little closer to you.

Got any pics of the modified strut holes? I'm trying to imagine it but need a visual.
