Thank you.

I'm not much of a vinyl top fan but on this car it doesn't bother me.....much.

It those pics the car has about 10 gal. of fuel. The rear springs are very stiff so 5 gals/40 lbs isn't going to drop it much. I'm thinking .5" is money, .25 acceptable. The challenge is how to safely obtain that .5".

You can run a 1-1/2 block and you'll be fine. Dave (flash68) has 2" blocks and runs the car hard. Just make sure your blocks have the locating pin/hole in them

i think it looks good
just change out the rear suspension with your "Present Plan"........... and it's all good.
if it was mine i woud go 1/2 to 3/4 front and back.

my .02 keep the change.

Thanks guys, I've had her in the closet for over 10 years, it feels good to get her out in public again.

Luke,

Thanks, I can get solid blocks of rem material cut locally and install locating pins.

What about the stock 7/16" dia U-bolt vs stepping up to 1/2"? I'm assuming bigger is better in this case. I have new DSE Shock Plates, they are for 7/16 u-bolts, enlarging the holes to accept 1/2" shouldn't cause a problem?
