That's a doable list.

Say, weren't you on a hot rod truck too ?

Is it rubbing in the front? Will you be putting in stock springs to raise the height? As Jeff says should be an evenings work for you.

Just need to raise the coilovers, I put in fortune auto coilovers 2 years ago. It's not rubbing it's just got a very low approach angle, I love the way it looks but I don't like taking it easy at every driveway

Got the beast out last night. Forgot how awesome this thing is, had no problem smoking tires in third gear. Just ordered SOS hood struts finally. The car looks clean in the pic but it's filthy

Car looks awesome Jake! Do you get any rubbing in the rear with the 275/RPF1 combo? Im running 255 on RPF1 +45 and ASM over fenders and they just barely clear. Curious on your setup.
