    New Rims touching the upper A-arm.. what should I do?

    wheel spacers...they tighten down on your lug bolts and have a new set of lug bolts offset 1/5 of a turn that you bolt the wheel to. they come in different thicknesses.

    Media blasting

    That could be as silica sand does work better for removing rust. Yep, they also sent my car out for paint after I did a few small mods. The paint came out beautiful.

    Does the dash come out?? + paint Q?'s

    Painting garage floor...who's done it?

    I agree it's no different than a car paint job, 90% prep and 10% epxoxy paint job!!! I know that here in so. cal. Home Depot / Lowes sells an Epoxy coating with the colored chips that you throw down after the colorcoat but before the clear coat. Works good but prep is the KEY.

    Open Tracker (John) is very good with stang suspensions and I agree with "he won't sell you more than you need". Plus his components are very well put together.

    clutch cable kit

    Yup, 1 day, by myself, already had the c-4 out for paint but the t-5, pedals and JMC hydraulic clutch went in in about 10 hours. That doesn't include the driveshaft. I don't have a lift so the car was on jackstands and I bought a trannyjack. It may take a week if they send the driveline out...

    To tint or not to tint

    I don't recall the name of the tint but that is probably the same type stuff I refered to above, you can use it in a house to acheive the same effect as Low-E windows (lower the amount of ultraviolet light and heat transfered through the glass). It is almost clear and works good, at least in a...
