Heres a big thumbs up to Rich for his help tonight with the trailing arms. Rich got here around 6:30 and by 8:00 we had the rear cover cleaned and put onto the rear, the rear on the cross member and up into the car, the stubber in place, Trailing arms on and the halfshafts bolted in. Could have done more but I didnt have the lower shock mounts ready or the spring put back together. Thanks Rich, that was a great help and since you already had experience it made it easy going in.
Everything fit great. After Rich left I started cleaning more parts and painting. I finished the rear shocks and strut rods and bolted them into place. The calipers are now painted and I'll hope to get them on tomorrow night. Rich, I cleaned the threads on the mounts and the shocks fit very snug so I decided to go ahead and use them. Touched up all the bolts and washers with fresh paint and hopefully tomorrow night will go as good as tonight.
I counted the days I have available to have this thing fit to take a 400 mile trip to Ocean City for the Vette weeknd and its only 12 nights. Now if the wife lets me out of a few planned activities till then I could pick up some extra time.
