I know I have brought you all through this pretty quick, considering that the project started in 2009 and we are almost up to date. Remember, this is a side thing and has to be done in between side jobs to fund this one.

Here is the car back on my lift and off that dolly for the first time in 4 years! Now I start to install all the suspension.







The rear is just an 8". I know, i'm crazy for not using a 9", but I got the rear for free and came upon a fully rebuilt center section with a posi 3.80 gear set. At the time it just seemed the right way to go. Of course in hind site I wish I went with a 9', and also wish I had mini tubbed it too.

See also below brand new rear springs, and Cal-Trac bars as well as the 13" brakes along with the 18x8 Billet Specialties wheels.
