The front suspension and brakes were removed; I did the Guldstand Mod and added the front tubelar A-arms:

I have a Vintage Air system going into the car plus a Covan's Dash with Autometer Gauges so the stock dash had to come apart:

It's always nice to find cool stuff. Looks like a great car but how about some pictures of the whole car? :D

Looks nice bet you can't wait to get it back on the road. Question what control arms are those, and what front brake are you going with?? :thumbsup:

Nice Bird. Silver strips look good.
