Unless you plan on building an outright race car, just send it back and go with the stage 1, and yes DIP has them in stock.

Be careful when you ask for a stage one at DIP. When I did they slipped me an Empi instead.  Only charged me for an Empi but I had to take it back to get a Kennedy. I had no problem paying more for it:-)

The worst performance mod is whatever you're limited to because you convinced yourself (or others) that anything bigger or faster was too extreme for a street car.

Long over due update. The past couple months have been real busy with moving and work picking up the bug is tore apart ready to go under the knife. The engine will be getting pulled shortly also





so far i have all 4 fenders off. the frunk lid, all bumpers and the running boards are off as well. also pulled the tank out to make it easy to get to the beam when i need to.

this was also a good time for me to get close to the body and find all the problems with it. so far the majority of the damage i have found is in the right rear. the front apron looks to have been replaced atleast twice with some less then spectacular welding. the rear bumper bracket area of the body is all rotted out as well.

next up will be the removal of the deck lid and the interior fallowed by all the glass
