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

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.

I bet you are Earl....I bet you are.
After Chatter Box, I don't know what to think anymore

i had a compressor on my e30 to operate an air horn, that got annoying in like 1 day. are higher quality systems quieter? (excuse my noobness on the topic)

Saturday was spent waiting for a package that needed to be signed for. That package never came=/ It was late in the afternoon and I didn't feel like driving 45 minutes to the shop to do a half hour of work.
I did end up spraying my air tank in satin clear to keep the textured paint from rubbing off.
I also ended up removing all of these suckers from the OZ barrels:
Hopefully the package that I was waiting on comes today. I will be ordering most of the engine parts I need to start throwing it back together after I get the timing cover off.
I'm hoping that wednesday I can assemble and install the subframe so that I can take the car to get the bay welded up=) After that I can disassemble it again to do the wheel bearings. Yay

So, I swung by Earl today to check out his progress. I snapped a quick pic, even though he asked me not to. Gotta say it wasn't what I was expecting:
Great Britain going way too hard. It looks like it came out of Death Race

Ill swing by if I get off in time!
