Drove the car for about a year or so like this and then decided it was time to tackle the back half of the car and do all the popular tricks like a 9 inch and disc brake swap, which has now turned into a swap that has a C&R third, with a Detroit locker and 3.50:1 gears (third member is currently on its way to the Maier Racing shop for me to go pick up) So what started out as simple upgrades turned into getting the Maier Racing 165 race leaf springs, along with Mike's panhard rod, adjustable rear sway bar, bilstein shocks, moser 31 spline custom axles, a powder coated 9 in. axle housing, wildwood 4 piston brakes, and to top it all off, I undercoated the entire underside of the car...... which took me months to degrease, sand, scuff, prep, and then spray, all of which was by hand and I swear I will never do that again!!
Here is how it sat after finishing up the rear suspension!
