Nice car. I'm a big fan of the Mariah sides, not much the front unless lights added. Still a beautiful car. Oh, I love SA's

just promise me you wont paint the car blue. I have the same "flying whale tail" and dont want more matching out there ;) I am going with the old CP racing style widebody like Dan has on the club. More specificly I am still searching for the narrow version which is impossible to find now aince black dragon bought the molds.

if you have any questions feel free to ask, there are several of us SA owners here. I happened to find out the hard way that the SA22c Frame is completely different than the FB, especially in the rear. If you plan on going with a 8.8 go with a panhard and skip the watts links as the mounts are in a different location than the FB (which is what grannies based it off of), plus with the 8.8 on a SA you will end up with your spring perches being too far back causing the springs to lean wrong. in other words make your own kit ;)

When you blow that up I have my '80 diff still sitting here taking up space, yours for the price of shipping!
