Looking good so far. All those goodies should be a drastic improvement in how the car performs. Are you staying with the leaf rear and auto tranny?

Brian finished welding the crossmember and than we fit the sway bar and he welded the bracket to the frame.

Test fitting the suspension.

Looks great! Have you used that front suspension before and how well does it handle?
Thanks Mike

We did it on a 1970 Mustang before and I only got to drive it a couple of miles but I liked it and installed the suspension in my car but it is not finished.
