Sorry for the late response on that question, Yes Ebay has it, but so does Amazon and it's cheaper if you have Prime. Shipping was free and it got here in 2 days.

I am putting in the Control freak suspension this weekend, I will have pictures soon, but I can tell you so far it's pretty amazing. The quality is awesome and the fitment is spot on.  Flaming river set me the a non power steering rack, so Al at control freaks, told me to box it up and he would send someone to get it, and have flaming river drop ship me the correct power steering one. Just like that Great service. Super pumped about this.  Pics to follow.


How much of the Noico did you use on your car? Is that package of 50 sqft enough? (Including the trunk area)

No, your going to need 150ft. I had about 3-4 sheets left. But I also did the the roof, and inside the doors.

Great, thanks! I think 2 packages is good for me then, since it's a convertible.


Found a deal on e-bay, 100 sqft for $119, ordered it, great deal, Dynamat in that quantity is over $600!

O.k As promised, here are some of the Control Freaks suspension. I just finished installing the Wilwood 6 pistons brakes to day as well. The weather here in IL has been unreal. 73 degrees today in the middle of February, just awesome. Everything went together great on this suspension, the only thing I am waiting on now is the power rack. I also put brand new K member bolts and upper eccentric bolts with adjusters, I just couldnt talk myself into using the old ones LOL.

Well I got the power rack in and then finished welding in the ashtray delete. The car went back to body last week and the boys at Juan's working on the final body prep before paint.
The New Conklin Trans arrived today and looks great, this beast should be plenty strong for the 600 wheels HP I am shooting for.

Well the new pad pad came in. I had it done by Super dash pads/ AKA Dash pad pro's. I am very pleased with the quality of this dash. I was a little hesitant to use them as the feedback has been mixed , but after seeing this dash I would use them again. This is a steel core version and fit my metal dash skeleton very nicely. I have Vintage A/C going in and although I originally had a A/C dash I wanted to get rid of the vents because I wanted a clean smooth dash. I will be adding vents to the custom console. SO if your looking for a good quality dash for under $1000 these guys did good by me,and I am pleased. It only took about 3 weeks to get mine form the day I ordered.

I'm glad to hear that. I just order a dash pad from them a couple of days ago. I also saw the mixed reviews but I didn't want to pay $1300 at Just Dash. Just Dash is only 20 minutes from my house but I chose to save the money. I figured Dash Pad Pros is good enough for Graveyard Carz then they should be good enough for me.

Sorry been a couple weeks since I posted pics. The main body is going in to do final paint tonight. Doors and fenders going back on as well, then back in for one last over all coat before we do the strips and clear. Here is a pic before as it's goes into the booth. I will post more as I get them.

Here are some pics of Juan laying down some color on the body and hood. The car now has door and fender hung and will be done sometime today with any luck. As you can see on the hood pic, we are making the ram air hood functional, no point if having them if the don't do anything I figure.
Beautiful day here in IL for doing this. Will have more pics later.

I can't wait to see this thing out in daylight with the clear on it. I'm really liking the color!
