I am glad I an not the only one having to redo some stuff and I am happy that your car is back on the road and it looks really good.

Keep updating the thread as I really like this car.

I've driven the car about 150 miles on the new rocker arms and wheels with no issues. Plan to drive out the rest of this year then do some clean up / small projects over the winter.
