Got the car back from the painter this morning before the rain moved in. This picture sucks and the car is wet from an earlier shower. I'll snap some better ones when the weather clears.

Haha, yeah. I had a couple things in my favor- I've become friends with the body shop owner, it's a small shop with only one paint booth and a few bays, and he had other work waiting, he basically only had to mask and spray my car. But yes, it was a quick turnaround, which I'm thankful for.
Got the Ridetech 4-link brackets welded on the 8.5" 10 bolt and got the rear suspension wrapped up. It's dirty, but I rolled it out since the sun was out and snapped a few photos with the new wheel/tires.

I ordered a set of Speedhut gauges and planned to use the stock gauge cluster to mount the speedo and tach. I ordered Speedhut's 5" trim rings thinking they'd be plug and play and a straightforward way to install their gauges in the stock cluster...not quite.
The trim rings were larger than the cluster's opening diameter. Speedhut gauges mount with a threaded ring, not like Autometer gauges that use a bracket. So, I came up with the following to center the trim rings in the stock cluster opening and allow the Speedhut gauge mounting ring to thread on. Seems stout enough, time will tell.
Cut, bent, drilled, tapped, countersunk, and threaded some aluminum stock I had for the upper mounts.
Cut, bent and slotted some steel sheet stock I had for the upper retainers.
