Thanks guys means a lot to me! Yeah I have put literally my heart and soul into this. lol My girlfriend the other day goes "Josh, you really do literally love your car like it's your child" I laughed and told her that I do infact love this car as it's a reflection of me.
Anyway
A few updates. Crosslink Powdercoating, whom I have do all my PC work, is amazing! I've only been in a few times to drop off and pick up stuff but yet everytime I stop by he knows exactly who I am and knows my name. Right as I walk through the door he says "Heeey Josh, hows it going?". Not only that, I dropped off the last batch of PC yesterday at 3p.m. and they close at 5p.m. He called me today at 3p.m. saying everything was done and ready to roll and that they finished up at noon today (they open at 10a.m.). I didn't say I was in a hurry to get it but that's just how he works. It's awesome and he has my business from now on for sure. Anyway, I'm picking it all up tomorrow.
Alright to the other stuff, I wasn't satisfied with the finish on the rear calipers and when I coated them it was colder outside so that caused the paint to cloud up. Today I sat them in the sun for a bit and then added 3 more coats and they are MUUCCCHH butter now. Nice and shiny and thick ass coating.
I received box one of my second and final Toyota order full of seals, brake rebuild kit etc. Still have another box on the way (backordered stuff)
And then also received my Wilwood 4 piston superlite calipers and pads as well as the Brian Crower Titanium retainers and their valve springs however I am not going to use the valve springs but isntead sell them. The Engle valve springs is what I'm using as it has a stiffer spring rate and allows for much more compression which is much better suited for my high lift cams.
So basically, the car will be back on it's wheels come sunday after I finish this round of tests. I'm hoping my head is done friday, I'm stopping by tomorrow to check up on it and drop off the Toyota valve seals and the Ti retainers. I'm thinking that the car will be ready to take down to Texas the weekend after this coming one. However, I can't go then as I'm a groomsman in my good friend's wedding on that Saturday so it will have to wait till the following weekend. (2 weeks from this one)
By the way, this car is not for sale. lol I've had a few very nie offers but I'm not selling it. lol
