There's too many colors on the TB for me right now to really make the blue look perfect, I wish it was all black or something.

Since some of the earlier pics, I blacked out the chrome grill/chev symbol, painted the door handles body color, and started to black out the pillars between the windows. I plan to paint the side trim too. I hope that will make it look less "busy".

I think I'll get one of those billet chev symbols tho so i can coat it blue. Trying to "tie it all together" with a cohesive look.

It took some getting used to for me as well.

Oh, and I dont think hammertone is "different" either, kinda more of the same IMO.;)

I'd say Monday we would be ready to ship. The offset bushings are at anodizing right now and should be back then.

Looks great Karl!

Lets wait for his vendors forum to go up before we start asking too many questions. That way all of his information is in one spot for us to find.

If you read the vendor guidelines, it's pretty clear that this site wants no "vaporware" - so first order of business - show y'all it's the REAL DEAL!!!

I'll post up all the details approx monday at the latest!

Adjustability range is about 1/2" shorter than stock to 1 1/2 - 2 inches longer then stock.

Requesting obligatory close up shot of the welds. ;)

What are you using for tubing?


Those look GREAT, and I am jealous of the adjustability. My 1" longer control arms have caused my 35s to do some "custom" work to the rears of my fenderwells.

Do you have a bender? People have been after front UCAs that aren't silly DJMs for awhile now. Potential permanent fix for people with camber issues.


And James can piss off, I like the blue. :raspberry:

If you want to post details here I'll make sure it gets moved to your new forum once it's up.
I own too many vehicles now. Let's leave it at that.
