My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

My boxes didn't end up showing up on Thursday. UPS needed me to sign for them, and I wasn't home. So of course I took off Friday just to be able to sign for them. They came 7 minutes after I would have been home from work=/ Oh well.
Anyways it was like Christmas thanks to Bag Riders=)
I asked them to draw on the boxes to see how creative they are. I had a good laugh
Contents of two of the boxes
The third box was my UAS Airhouse 2's for the rear. I got the tank raw so that I could paint it myself. Here is while it was drying:
I also picked up an AC-Schnitzer style CF lip on Saturday in need of repairs. Kerry and I are going to fix it and then it will be getting painted to match my rub strips.
Other than getting parts and painting the tank, I didn't get any work done on the car. I was at Kerrys Saturday and then realised that I didn't have anything I needed to get any work done on the car. Wednesday I will be getting the bags mounted to the trailing arms and hopefully fixing the bushing situation. I also need to figure out how I want my trunk setup to be. I want it clean and classy, but not boring.
Updates to come after Wednesday

hahah those boxes are hilarious!!!!

I was very happy with how yesterday went.
I finally got to order my 3" and 3.5" lips. I am so excited for them to come.
After work I got to the shop and had just the right tool to get the pesky RTAB sleeves out.
After a little wrestling I let out a sigh of relief as I stared at these.
Now to reinstall them correctly this next time=D
I grabbed these front work
And what do you know, matching threads
And then I did this slick move
Tada
I got them to screw on nice and flat=) Just need to put some loctite on the threads when I reinstall them. Now to make the top mounting coles on the frame rail.
I also grabbed the subframe and took it in the light to see the color. Reminds me of a bass boat when there is heavy light=P
From a distance it is just a metallic pewter color.
The next updates will be after Saturday=)

good to see this moving along Earl!!

Thank you sir=) I am actually thoroughly suprised that I haven't gotten any shit for going on air. I would stay static, but I figured that a fresh paint job and massaged fenders will be bacon in no time with the fitment I will be running. I want this car to stay nice and clean.

The trunk will be nice and simple. Just a few exposed hardlines and the tank will be seen. I will be picking up a watertrap, but it isn't as huge of a deal since I'm using an aluminum tank versus steel.
Good to hear you got an aluminum one! Did you go pancake style, or tube style?

Then I did this:
I am hoping for a nice package today=) Let's hope it arrives to keep my spirits high. I just got my RTAB sleeves back from being bored out. The manufacturer forgot to machine the ID, so my bolts would not fit. All is good now.

After Chatter Box, I don't know what to think anymore
