A Tale of two TA's

[EVO]

Thumper, Yeah the body is in nice shape as is the original interior. Faded but not tore up. The doors have a tiny bit of rust bubbling on the lower corners and the floors are not the best. Someone in the past welded in some toe panel patches which seem to be holding ok. I might have to do a floor pan replacement after a couple of years.

So after welding up the subframe I gave it a coat of epoxy primer followed by Eastwoods ceramic chassis satin black. I then started on the control arms. Im installing ridetech's street grip system for F bodys on this TA. removed all the old bushings and cleaned and blasted the arms followed by epoxy primer and ceramic chassis black although I ran out of satin so ended up doing the arms in gloss. I think the contrast looks kinda cool. New ball joints from the streetgrip system and Suspension was put back together with ridetech progressive coil springs. The stock spindles were modified to accept the bigger wilwood brake caliper brackets. last up on the subframe was the ridetech streetgrip steering set up. all new tie rods and links attached to the original steering box. I mounted the engine and trans to the subframe to give it some weight to put the suspension back together.
