Hey Gert:

The engine pad I got from you is in the car. Thanks again for the great service and the great prices. I am looking forward to my next delivery. Everyone please keep Gert in mind when looking for parts. The order I placed was large with a million small parts (screws, caps, clips, covers etc..) all arrived intact, correct and on time. I AM KEEPING THIS CAR!!! Well, maybe. LOL

Impressive work. That car must be thanking its lucky stars to get that level of attention!

By the way, you probably know that the engine bay labels and stickers can be ordered as parts.

I know there is more, but I am doing it from memory. This car should turn out pretty slick. The shop that is doing the paint work is awesome. You can eat off the paint booth floor it is that clean. Low production-high quality facility. I am doing the dismantle and re-assemble. I will be posting pics of that as well.

Awesome list, I can't wait to see more pics!

Just one question: why not spend a little more and put adjustable coilovers (pss10s or equivalent) on that car, since you are ugrading the sways and spending a lot of money anyways?

I think it would nicely compliment, and pretty much fully complete your setup.

Mike -

So glad to see this underway. It's gonna be one FINE car ... not that I'm biased or anything ...

Cannot wait to see the end result.

IMHO that would be overkill. I will just use the car for Saturday drives with the wifey and dinners. No heavy duty use at all. I am doing the car more for a look than a need if that makes sense. After rolling my last cab with the top down I am taking this one easy. Plus I had the Bilstein HD's/ROW M030 springs and the sways on my yellow cab and they were perfect for my needs.

You & Guy (briefscape) are running the same wheels on your respective RB cabs. Nothing like the all at once approach Mike, awesome. She'll be just like new. Scratch that. BETTER than new!
