Sorry. But it's better than having to buy new ones.

my brother had 2 punch p2 15"s each with 2000 watt amps and every time the base would hit the mirror would fall off of the windshield

Re: Project Orange to Green
I finally worked on the C-10 some this weekend. I got the upper arms painted and put together, the new Dropmember gussets in and the lower arms plated and painted. If NAPA hadn't given me the wrong lower bushings the lower arms and front brakes would be on. I'll get started on that tonight.

Nice project, I haven't finished reading it all yet. Definitely like the rear suspension setup and the silver paint on the front dropmember/suspension, looks great!

Re: Project Orange to Green
I got the arms bolted on for the last time. I guess it's time to buy a set of spindles, I've been waiting for a good deal to come along but I'm to the point that I need them now
