Re: my 80 build

Keep @ it.

Food for thought.... you've been driving it super low for a while now & if you're anything like me, it won't be the same w/minimal drop. A 4/6 drop is a great compromise for everyday driving w/o worry (you can even get a little more a-arm clearance if the x-member is notched).

Re: my 80 build

I pick up some new grade 8 hardware for the motor mounts that mount to the frame and new replacement motor mounts but I believe I'll sent them back because I bet they what last to many 3000rpm launches

Re: my 80 build

I painted the factory brakes line silver but will be replaced by stainless steel lines

I'm replacing any bolt that deals with the motor to the frame with new grade 8 hardware
