My buildup progress.

Thanx, Man I'm going to get started on putting it in tomorrow with the stock control arms to see where it sits.

[SmokinS13SR20]

Looking great man!
I can't wait to get the Cougar rolling so I can just replace bushings and weld up the torque boxes. I'm just egging to do some suspension work.

Keep it up

Thanks man, and since your egging to do some suspension work, come do mine for me!

It looks good man.

Thanks Dean, was that you that cut me off Friday night on Shephard, pulling into Publix? I woulda pulled in, but wasn't sure if it was you or not.

You and me both!

Man it feels good to actually see things starting to go in, instead of just getting pulled out.

[Black_notch]

Haha in is always better than out!

Well ordered my lower control arms, upper control arms and anti-roll bar, but I still need those tires. At this point I'd take some worn out 325 50 15 M/T DRs just as long as they held air, so I could go ahead and order/fit the tubs check clearances etc. Other than the tires, I need to get some coil-overs with brackets. After that, I'll be working on the fuel system so since I'm working at the rearend, I went ahead and removed the stock gas tank and cut out the spare tire well since I will be running a fuel cell.
Here are some pics of the rearend in to get an idea of what I'm looking at but this is with the stock control arms. The pics suck, it was getting dark out and my camera is a cheap one. I tried to lighten it up but I'm not the best with photoshop.



Here is another crappy pic of the wheel to fender clearance. I still havent rolled the fender lips yet so I think I might be okay. If you look close you can see the driver side fender to wheel clearance is closer than the passenger side fender to wheel clearance. I have bolts pushed in without the nuts so we'll see what the clearance is once I get the new control arms in.



Here is a pic of the spare tire well removed.

I bolted the rearend in today with the upr uppers and lowers to see how it would sit. I don't have the coil-overs yet, so I just have a block between the frame and the rearend on each side.











And one with the Z so it wouldn't get jealous






Here are some pics of my quick clearancing to get the 325 50 15 MT DRs to fit while being tucked slightly. This will get it on the trailer so I can get it to the chassis shop.












Thanks for looking
