Winter projects on the way
Well first the bad news, in a strange turn of events our lift fell apart in one of the legs due to a bad weld on an integral piece of the lifting system. Thankfully there wasn't a car on it at the time, just a junk rear axle for a 55 chevy that is going to get rebuilt as a spare for the hot rod. But anyway kinda puts me in a bind for working space for now.
Onto the good news, gear for the winter is on the way! Here is the to-do list New clutch, flywheel, slave - I just don't like having an unknown clutch in there UMI K-member Poly motor mounts Tubular front upper control arms Tubular front lower control arms Tires for the new wheels That should keep me busy for a weekend, lol!

Any reason why UMI over anyone else like Spohn etc? Just curious if theyre better/worse than one another or if it's just price.

I've had a little better luck with fitment of UMI, especially anywhere where the exhaust is. Personal preference really. I have alot of Spohn and some BMR stuff on my car too. I'm also dabbling with the idea of going road racing next year and like the extra reinforcements on the UMI piece. Was originally going to go with spohn but they are just too expensive.

Well my rubber ones wore out in 8,000 miles with the new engine and I don't want to go solid, kinda only leaves one option.

I hear ya, Spohn makes some good stuff but they are pricey. UMI makes some good stuff though. I have their LCA's.
