That is just a great looking setup. The tubular arms are great too but I am partial to the factory cast items for some reason.

I am pleased with the components, I think a simple clear coat and she'll be looking good.

Thanks, I think so too!!!

Also got out the original valve covers and cleaned them up, made mounts for the original shocks, unpacked the Ride Tech box ... just like Christmas!!! I'll finish the engine tomorrow and lift the car back onto stands and drop the engine into the frame. I had to order longer u bolts for the multi leaf setup on the 12 bolt, they'll be here on Monday.

So I'll work on the air bar fitment and get that all lined up w the 12 bolt, spray some epoxy, and keep plugging on .....

Thanks for looking ...

Sounds like a plan!

frame in ... PITA by yourself! Especially when my car was one of the variants that didn't line up with the holes just right.... I wrestled it into place. Epoxied the leaf mounts, bolted the shock mounts and got the bars ready for test fitting, and spent another 3 hours cleaning up the trunk pan (my arms are tired now) and rails for some epoxy tomorrow ... supposed to be 80 degrees.

Wanted to get the holes drilled out on the frame but I didn't have a driver for the drill to get the bolts in ... I'll get that in the morning and then prep for painting.

Not much progress ... it's clean thou!!!

Thanks for looking ...

Chief in the top left of the picture where the slotted hole is does the flat piece sit flat against the frame rail ? Mine has a space between the rail and the bracket where the bolt goes through the slotted hole. that's a lot of sanding for above you head.

Yeah there is a space there btwn the frame, that is the side that the index bolt didn't line up w the frame and kinda went in sideways? I will look at the frame again tomorrow and maybe put some pressure w a jack in see if she'll close the gap, or slot the frame a little ... then I can drill the 18 holes and get the bolts in, that's the plan anyway!
