Hi Jason,
Found this thread you mentioned and your build looks awesome!
Your TT is done and looks like it will fit right in with your black/silver scheme. We coated over the aluminum transmission housing as discussed since your build is at this level. Should be shipped out tomorrow.
Cheers,

Everything looks fantastic, however I feel you will be having a fun time getting your spring plate bushings on with the spring plates PC'd...
I assume you will be using poly bronze bushings? (They recommend replating the spring plates, but you have them PC'd and the cured PC does add to the over all dimmension)
their (Elephant Racing) poly bronze bushings are SLIGHTLY oversized to allow for differences, but are still a snug fit, you MAY run into problems with any bushings you use, and the result might be you may have to strip the PC off the bushing mating areas...
Other than that, very nice... very very nice....

powder coat colour
Hmm...going to have to be *that* guy and say I don't like the color choice on the trailing arms and spindles. Spindles are black, arms are silver. Very nice none the less! 
Sorry...I'm just a little **** retentive about **** like that lol. Can't wait to see it bak together. Did you repaint the struts?

I didn't feel like having them redo them.
As far as the spindles I'm hoping that colour hides the brake dust a little better.
the whole lot only cost 450.00 Can, which I thought was ok considering the work involved
Everything that I can take off underneath is getting the powder coat treatment except the calipers.
Putting on big brakes next year so I can deal with dirty calipers for now.

some assembled parts
I installed a 1/4 piece of rubber between the solid trans mount and the hanger to cut down on vibration noise.
Installed poly bushings on spring plate and torque tube with no issues with the powder coating thickness. Need new bolts though the zinc plating is in poor shape.
