        After some time, I finally got the majority of the cage in. I messed up on one piece and I cut it too short, but it was bound to happen. I'll just have to get another piece.

              It wasn't too bad. Just figuring out where everything goes was not fun.

                It's been a while since I've updated this thread. I took a break on the car to focus on family issues, but now I'm back and ready to spend some money. 

                The first thing I did was clean the garage and move my car over. I also put it on the ground so I would get a little more motivated. 

                Then I bought some coilovers, sway bars, control arms and tie rods. I got the majority if everything done besides the front coils.

                    It's a 1969 Studebaker project I've also go. Then next to that is an 89 k10.

                      Welp I finally got my front coilovers done when I got the right strut housings. Now I have a rolling chassis. Just for kicks I put the wheels from my black e30 on.

                        I know that is just primer but it looked like light silver and I liked it. What color are you doing again?

                              Lol yeah the fender is silver. I painted it just to see if I could paint. I'm going to go with a gray for the color.

                                Can I suggest aviator grey?  Its such an awesome color.

                                      Wouldn't it have to be an actual color to be pastel? I never thought of any shade of grey being able to be called pastel lol

                                        from wiki:

                                        someone said:

                                        Pastels or pastel colors are the family of colors which, when described in the HSV color space, have high value and low to intermediate saturation.[1][2] The name comes from pastels, art media characteristic of this color family. The colors of this family are usually described as "soothing",[3] "soft", "near neutral", "milky", "washed out", "desaturated", and lacking strong chromatic content.

                                        that aviator "gray" is definitely a shade of blue, which is "washed out" and "desaturated". i'm sure under some light or low light, it just looks gray,  but this photo of the color that makes it pretty obvious:

                                        1009227.jpg

                                        i only argue this because I have to deal with it all the time.  i work at an interior design firm, and the women around here are always complaining about whites not being white...grays being bluish or yellowish, etc.
