I notched all of the bars myself with a template I printed off the internet. I used my angle grinder to get the tubes to my liking and mig welded them in. I sprayed the main hoop and rear tubes with SPI epoxy black primer prior to installing to make final paint coverage easier.

I was able to install most of the front Ride Tech suspension this weekend. I'm not sure if I will have to pull the coil overs and cut any of the spring pocket yet for more clearance. At full sag the shocks don't touch, so maybe I will be ok. I started to install the front Muscle Bar. I'm in the process of drilling holes for the mounts and I'm not sure if I will have to trim any metal from the subframe bumps for clearance as it states in the directions. I am close to getting the Wilwood's mountes as well. I have to get a shorter lower caliper bracket mount bolt since I am using TruTurn and the bolt no longer has to pass through the caliper mount, bracket, and steering arm since the TruTurn steering arm mounts in a separate location. I also need to order a Camaro drag link since the Pontiac drag link doesn't work with TruTurn.
