jesse_s13 · 02-25-2012, 09:46 AM

lovethe front end work sexxyy

Chad Dugan · 02-25-2012, 12:44 PM

Paint is done and now the car is back at home ready to get assembled

no major flaws, a few tiny imperfections that can be lightly buffed out, but over all I am happy with the way it turned out -

Chad Dugan · 02-27-2012, 08:08 AM

Installing these this week thanks to George Marstanovic

should have some excellent stopping power now.

Chad Dugan · 03-26-2012, 07:56 AM

Started with the brakes since the weather has been nice, got the dual caliper brackets on, new rotors and now equip with 4 rear calipers

also changed out the front abs knuckles for modified non abs

I used 1.5 tube but again that is all preference, as long as it's strong that's what matters.

Chad Dugan · 03-10-2012, 12:54 PM

Got some time to get into the garage and start mocking up some windows.

Did a rough cut and then trimmed what was needed once i started to put them against the car.

Did both sides and working on the rear now.

sash_ak21 · 03-10-2012, 01:59 PM

Quality build man! What material are you using for the rear windows?

haha yah man sorry about that, I'm moving the car back to storage where I can work in doors with space and more tools, then I should be able to get some good detailed pics up.

TougeSR20Kid · 03-26-2012, 10:42 AM

Damn this is a solid nice 14 man good job. Ive been thinking about taking welding classes and start fabricating this inspires me to get moving on it. Did you take welding classes / how hard was it to acquire this skill? Keep up the good work man, can't wait to see the finished product!!

510erv · 03-26-2012, 11:22 AM

Tubasteve1 · 04-13-2012, 07:04 AM

Royal_T · 04-14-2012, 09:37 AM

Sooooooo sick

Chad Dugan · 04-14-2012, 03:34 PM

I picked up an open diff for welding this weekend, took it apart to get all cleaned up and prepped.

All clean ready to go, I wonder how long this will last me at 400whp

coming together nicely, having to plumb the brake/clutch/fuel/ps lines this weekend as well.

I'll get more pics up soon.

S-Nation S13 · 04-14-2012, 03:44 PM

Damn..I wish I knew how to weld..ahh fml
