got my bushings in from the supplier, so they are gonna be in sooner than later, plus just called the cage guy. hes prolly coming monday to measure then go bend. im hoping to sell kits from him to the s130 owners who can never find them anywhere. im really hoping the "kit" is under 500 bux.

got the steering hooked up and suspention under the car most of the way, it needs to be able to roll for the move to the new shop. ill get more pix here soon, but this is so i can find it faster. also put ureathane bushings in all the suspention parts and painted them with por15. they are all nice and shiney black now! and yes the camber plate is on top, it gets the car lower and kinda looks cool too. i have hollowed out the area that it needs to move as well. i had it mounted below, with lowering springs it was the stock ride height!

looks great man! good luck. I wish I had a big garage and a rotissery

are you planning on getting fiberglass parts (hood/trunk/etc) for it? I remember finding a site that sold that stuff for Z's but I rememberit being really expensive...better off using the old hood and making a mold for the fiberglass.

no fg parts here, i have so many spare fenders and doors. i can live with steel right now, but i may make some if needed, i do have the technology for it. the hood would be nice to have fg, its so dang heavy, all i need is 2 or 3 layers of glass.
