Some stuff I am not using anymore from #37 4th Gen TA:
Front coilover springs 800lbs $100. Rear pigtail 200lbs springs and spacers for the top of the donut give 6 5/8" to the LCA bolt ride height - New the springs are $100/pr and the Blaine Fab spacers $50/pr. $120 for both. Springs have about 1/2 season of racing on them. Simpson RH side restraint $70new, $50 barely used. http://www.geckoranch.com/cars/images/righ...restraint_b.jpg http://www.geckoranch.com/cars/images/righ...restraint_a.jpg Blaine Fab Bumper cover support panel $40 - works only with non-WS6 hood. http://www.geckoranch.com/cars/images/engcomp1big.jpg http://www.geckoranch.com/cars/images/engcomp2big.jpg http://www.geckoranch.com/cars/images/enginecompside.jpg Buyer pays for shipping on all items, I can send UPS or USPS, whichever is cheaper.

I'm not sure what you mean by "top of the donut". Do they actually go above the stock rubber donut, and if so what are they made out of? Do you have any pictures? |

Julies are 1/4" thick, made of aluminum. Screws into the donut locate them laterally. They look like this: (IMG:http://www.skyhighway.com/~bfpix/IMG_0204.JPG) |

I remember trying a similar piece myself but the structure of the underside of the hood, that the latch component mounts to, extended too far down and wouldn't allow the hood to close. |

Blaine Fab has this answer, I believe there were no hood mods. This piece only works on LT1 cars BTW. |

The latch bracket must be removed by drilling out the spot welds. This may no longer be CMC legal since rule 8.9.11 was added for 2007. |

Is the $100 price for 800lb front coilover springs correct?

Let me do some checking on the front spring price, happy to adjust - usually I ask 75% of new for something fairly new. I'll get back to ya!

Mitch - On this one what you see is what you get - there is no other support for the bumper cover other than the OEM foam bumper core. The back edge of the bumper cover gets sandwiched between the foam and the hood. On the rebuild of #37, I did make supports down to the bumper beam to further retain the bumper cover - a 3/8" bolt about 3-4" long down thru a hole in the bumper beam with a sleeve on the bolt so it becomes a stud - one on each end of the front edge of the support panel is adequate. I did this 'cause there is a Camaro eggcrate under the bumper cover (don't tell Jules) and it didn't support the cover as well as the Pontiac foam. Looks just like this: (IMG:http://www.skyhighway.com/~bfpix2/IMG_1209.JPG) |

Thanks for the clarification.
From the other pics, I couln't tell if the panel made a 90* bend and went down to the beam or if you used bosses. That foam core is freaking expensive, eh? |
