Spartan GL's Build Thread: (09-21-14) New photos!

Some advice on the cradle spacers, make sure to use some loc-tite on each bolt, since they will have less threads holding the subframe up, also, only lower 2 bolts at a time, or you risk dropping the whole subframe assembly and royally messing stuff up.


Car looks awesome. Can't wait to see it in person.

Well i don't really need em since the hood shut perfectly lol. BUT since i have to take the subframe off to drop the trans to fix that leak i suppose it couldn't hurt to add em!


Yes i am thinking maybe a Meet sometime around October? (I have pretty much two full months worth of work ahead of me.)

Doing the Armed Security for the Republican National Convention in Tampa (entire month of Aug) then the Democratic Convention in Charlotte North Carolina (Entire month of September)

Where do you see rtv in that anywhere? He said loc tite. I'd use the red if it was me. But he said his hood is shut now and no longer a problem.
