Very nice. Are you using the stock 88 spindles?

I just got my new hubs from Erik today as well as new bearings for the front and rear and the brake brackets for the new 13" Wilwoods that I will be getting soon.
now I will be able to get the car back on the ground so I can move it around and work on it again
I will get some pic's later tonight.

This project is really going to be awesome can't wait to see the suspension all done and the car rolling again. Keep up the good work.

Thanks
I am going on the run for the hills this weekend so I will not have much time to work on it but I am going to try to work on it today for a while.
once I get it back together I will get some more pics. it will be great to have it back on the wheels so I can move it around to work on it again. the only bad part is that it is back to body work

Any idea how much weight you dropped off the front over the old steel stuff? I am thinking of going tubular or possibly with the slalom kit to save some more weight and add the ability to corner jack the car.

I am not sure how much lighter this set up is over stock I would have to say I may have shaved 5 - 7 pounds on each side.
but the 88 is a differant setup than all other years. Clayton has the slalom front on his car and it is way differant than mine.
the best thing to do would be to call Erik at HT.

Yep! I will be there

I was able to get one side done last night. got it all bolted in so I could get the wheel back on the car. I still do not have the brakes yet those will take some time for me to
get the funds together. but for now I will be able to roll it around to work on it.
here are a few pic's
