Nice work NG👍
Didn’t know you had it in you. I’m sure you’ve been having to repress some anxiety during this.

thanks man. Ive scratched the s*** out of it

I have no idea how people work on nice cars.
 
These nasty ass hubs have been in a bucket of Zepp Purple for a couple of days.

I fished them out this morning and they still looked like holy hell.

Great build, I’m really liking the city racer 16} with 255.

So what was the skinny on the Fox Shox spec, someone must have done some research?

They are the same size as the Bilstien 5100 and have similar specs all around.

Did you need to change the bushings on either end Nolen to fit Dave's u-bolt flip pins?

On the rear I might. Not there yet. I have these just in case

hmm, Fox 2.0 or Iron Man Foam Cell Pro or Bilstein...

decisions. I will be watching to see how @jmlockwood likes the 2.0s

The Iron Man Pro is the best shock for the money in my opinion. I did not know they made a 40 series variant. I have the Pros on my 55, 60 and 100
 
This was fun.

I usually don’t feed the Marine. He works harder that way. Red though, she loves her some Jerry so she made us a sammich.

Next we dissect these monster leaf packs.

we took out one long one (4th down) and the second to the last and the last. Basically the ones that don’t have a spring clamp attached to them.

These packs went from 98# down to 72#
The stock rear pack is only 50#

They don't list a rear shock though.
 
Nolen, do you have oxygen/ acetylene setup? Its way faster than a crack lighter. Little late for this one but for future reference.
 
Sandwitches? What sandwitches? I've been scanning that work table real hard to make sure those weren't some early TNK wiper arms pigeoned holed in the piles of junk.

I think I have a pretty good day getting some things done. Then I look at your build progress and get swacked.
