Brakes should be here next week!

Looks awesome, I am about to start with my ridetech bolt in 4 link, how hard was the install? also how hard was getting the brackets welded on the rear end? Is it a stock width rear or did you shorten it?

Sometimes, I think I get just as pumped about seeing some of these cars getting completed as I do about my own. This is lookin' great, Smitty!

Kind of a crappy pic but got the rear end all painted up and put back in the car. Gas tank will be next to go back in after a little touch up work I need to do after welding in the Ridetech cradle.

Got started on the A/C today as well not too far along with it just testing out the bracket I got from Detriot speed after I hacked it up a little...

It was a straight forward install. These old cars being assembled by hand gives a little bit of trouble from time to time with the cradle not seating into place like mine did. But with a couple of jacks and effort it slid right into place. The tabs weren't a big deal either. Just follow the instructions to a T and you will be fine. And the length on the rear end is stock with multi leaf perches made to order already welded up. I also went with the big ford ends for larger bearings and bolt in axles. If you want it narrowed I think they will build it to any lengths for no extra charge.
I called Matt and Kim at Matts Classic bow ties and they took care of me with everything.
