Picked up a SparkTech COP. This will be used with an ARC2.

Dropped the car off with my father-in-law who will be painting the car. He has owned and operated his own shop for the last 25 years doing anything from repairs to frame off show quality restorations.

I decided on going with a PPG jet black. I forgot the code, however it is the purest and darkest black you can paint a car. There are no other colors mixed in.

Haven't had too much movement yet. Lots of parts have been showing up on a daily basis. I'm sure the UPS man hates me.

Lots of other stuff including the Jay toe eliminator kit, maximal rear control arms, boostx rear subframe & mustache bushings, bullfab front cross member, etc.

The Forced Four Shiftbox plus arrived yesterday. I've decided on using buttons on a steering wheel for up/down shifts, then the optional TCU package to switch back to the TCU with a toggle switch for non/full pressure auto shifts when street driving.

I have also decided to order Jeff Bush's t-case brace along with the aluminum transmission pan he offers. The pan will help with trans temps quite a bit.


Body work is also coming along. Looks like there was some rust on the fenders so they will be getting patched.
