One last prep item for the lift—painting the JBA UCAs. I thought the red would clash too much with blue Kings, and red isn't really part of the color scheme I have in mind. It hurt a little to disassemble and scuff up new parts I just shelled out $550 for.


Hit them again with VHT Roll Bar and Chassis...I've gone through two cans of this in the last couple weeks. If anyone reads this and tries it out: while you can handle it fairly quickly, it does take a while to fully cure. I like to leave things hanging for at least 24 hours, if not 48. Any sooner and an impression will be made of anything you set them down on.


Loving how how they came out! I didn't opt for the cosmoline for these since the red powder coat + black over top felt like sufficient protection.


The bottom of the satoshi grill has slowly been sagging, and I was hoping I could straighten it up by epoxying aluminum angle bar:


Half the clips were broken, and they all were brittle, so new clips all around:


It didn't completely straighten, but enough that it has ceased to bother me. Need to somehow adjust the skewed bumper now.
