Why do you have a spring compressor on the spring while the strut assembly is still in the car?
Compressing the spring pulls the assembly out of the tower.

SS brake lines are one of the best mods I've ever done. Looks good, where did you get those decals?
I designed them in adobe illustrator and had them created/cut out by a local sign shop here in metro Detroit. They are made out of vinyl so I stuck them on & put the clear coats on afterward to seal it all together.

Nice man. I gotta get those S.T. lines too. I keep setting that aside. Can't wait till you take you're proper shoot. I've been reading some sporadic posts about you makin your way to Cali in the future. That would be dope bro.
Just a couple more weeks here in Detroit tying up some loose ends then I'm in my way!
Anyone know someone in marketing or advertising? I need more connections out there...

The Yellow Brake Calipers with decals are a nice touch.
