I have the benefit of my Dad having a really solid mostly stock car that I can take measurements off of if I need to.
That's a big plus having a car to measure from. I wanted mostly original stock and worn paint for the "look" I am after. Someday down the road I may paint the car, it drives my wife crazy that I don't want to paint it. Especially since I know how to do paint and body work and still have all the tools.

On I side note I did place an order for the dse ford 9" housing and axles today. So more waiting....
