Pictures of the rear suspension all finished. I just need to do a tighten down at ride height.

The only thing we are still waiting on for the rear are the Forged Axles. We will do the forged axles when they get here along with the PML Finned Aluminum Rear Cover.

No More Polish Underhood!!

I pulled all the polished parts out of the engine compartment. I had them blasted with media first and then glass bead. They have a fresh out of the mold look to them now.

Joe, are your rotors black because they still have that protective coating on them or will they stay black after being used? Nice job! I can't believe how clean your TBSS is. Does it ever go outside?

Thanks, we need to meet up for a coffee some time when it is back on the ground and running. We are waiting on a few more parts.

It is just a high temp low gloss engine enamel that I spray on every now and then. As soon as it pulls out of the drive way it is all gone on the pad contact area. This way the rest of the rotors stay looking like new all the time.

We did a photo shoot about 3 months ago but it keeps changing so much I just have not submitted anything. I will probably try to do another photo shoot at the end of the summer.

I received the new TVS2300 Front Inlet/Rear Cog Drive for the TBSS. I disassembled it did a little machine work for the throttle body and then reassembled it using all ARP polished 12 pt stainless steel bolts. It will be on the TBSS by next week. I am waiting on some custom 8 rib drive pulley's for testing. Enjoy the pictures.

Well she is all back together and started right up. I need to finish checking everything and put the front end back together. Then I will take it for a ride tomorrow. Enjoy the pictures!
