well for now it will be stock suspension and wheels till i decide what i want to do. I doubt anyone will buy my car being it that color unless it has the suspension and wheels. like i said if i do keep its going to be either airrunner or vip phantom cups

Can we get some pics of the failure? was is the actuall LBJ or was it the RCA and a bolt shear that failed? Clarification need.

I understand how you feel man, you get so far into a project and things all seem to go wrong at once. Just remember patience not only put things into perspective, but it also makes your decisions better suit long term goals. Give it some time and the right thing to do will present itself

when i go back to the shop i will try to get some shots. and yea patience does put things into perspective but lets see how this project pans out. And what is all this mumbo jumbo about not having sex in the car???

anyways im going to start using that lifetime alignment crap every month after i get my car back together with new suspension. Just so they can make sure everything is good!

I think he meant, that's how the LBJ broke off... get it, bouncing too much?

We'll I have another theory about the mumbo jumbo thing too, just can't really explain it. It's how our mind associates to events. You might not associate it at the concious level, but at subconcious level, it might distract you when you associate it with the car... LOL, but the theory would point to you causing the accidents etc..

We'll I have decided to rebuild! I thought about it all day. As big of a risk I'm taking I will rebuild! Née suspension and I should have new wheels in a few weeks. And sorry guys I'm not selling the mayas yet! The airforce suspension on the other hand has to go!!!

I will keep you guys posted!
