Next Years Power Tour Car

[kwhizz]

First off..........I wanted to add the second upper control arm on the rear axle assy....So.....I bought the second arm from Ridetech.......I thought there would have been a frame bracket included with the second Bar........So...I had the arm but nothing to mount it to......I copied the original and made my own....



Got it and the second arm installed tonight.....another thing crossed off the list....






I also had to put some additional clearance in for the Coilover shocks.........Buzzed it right out....



Got 1 side roughed in.......

Got a little ahead of myself today.....wanted to get the front brakes on.....I forgot to get the factory steering arms cleaned and prepped.........Tomorrow.....Got the master cylinder mounted, need to make a line or two and get some bushings......
I also got the new "Quick Steer" power steering box installed
Also......I ordered almost all the parts to finish the car.....got a call from the UPS depot scheduling a time for drop-off tomorrow......said the driver is gonna need some help unloading...........LOL.......She's gonna be pissed when that credit card bill shows up......LOL.......I ain't afraid of her......

Got the front suspension almost finished today.....Seems the people at CPP didn't notice the stickers on the Wilwood Calipers that said the brake line inlet were tapped 7/16-20 for a Banjo type fitting.....they sent tapered pipe fittings.......also.....I finally found something that is way beyond my skill level and capabilities.......Trying to get those Chinese front spindle dust caps to go on....I destroyed them trying to get them in..........Gonna dig thru the parts and find the old ones........not the first time i've had those issues.....LOL........Here are some pic's














&quot;And&quot;..........Here's what the Nova looked like when I pulled it back in the Garage.....Probably the first time it ever had Snow on it......

Before and after in the basement





But .......Then the big brown truck showed up with replacement parts for my &quot;Perfect&quot; Nu Yawk Survivor car......







&quot;And&quot;......I did find one part that is reuseable.......the Trunk emblem will be one of the few parts that can be will be original to the car.........LOL
