Hey! Thanks to everyone here cause I wouldn't have made it this far without you all helping me out. Should have the steering and brakes done in the next 2-3 weeks. And then the engine, trans and exhaust are going on her. Can't wait to put the body back on!!!! As always I appreciate any suggestions you all got to give. The majority of the parts and work has been based on what you all had to say to begin with.

SaaaaWEEET!
Man, that thing looks nice! You should be proud of the work you've done...it looks really good.
Almost a shame to cover it up with a body, ain't it?


I'mma thinking, tho...that there brake line prolly should be run under the control arm, not over the top. Of course, I know that may just be where it happened to be sitting when the pic was taken, but, just in case...Adams' Apple2007-11-10 16:39:32
