Not hard to see why!

Amazing work, looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.

FWIW, I'm not a shill for Race Tech - I've just got a thing for good suspension and the RTCE's are the most cost-effective mod for these old damping rod front ends.

Looks brilliant it would be nice to be only clear coated but the prep for that would be painstaking

Woah. Those levers are an interesting choice. That'll force a high level of finish.  8)

Then don't! It looks completely awesome all bare metal. The Brass will patina up nicely, so you just need to clear-coat the steel stuff.
