That's coming together great
I'm almost to the point where mine is going to be on 4 wheels too. Looking at yours makes me want to go home and put it together tonight

We have family that is still in Mandaville.
Yes I do. I didn't get much sleep last night because I was still wired at midnight from the highly anticipated milestone reached last night.

With all of the cutting and metal replacement I did on this car, I was nervous about it sitting crooked or something not being just right, but after looking it over last night it appears to be spot on (at least to the naked eye).

I'm in Zachary which is just north of Baton Rouge. I'm about an hour and a half west of Mandeville.

Nice work Chris, let me know how you are going to get that rear stance dropped down.

Default I know where that is

I spent some time in Gonzales and use to hunt in St Francisville.

Glad you finally got it back on the ground

Wired, huh? Don't say that too loud around me. I'll be mailing you a plane ticket to Louisiana. There's PLENTY left to do if you're feeling froggy, my friend!

Two ways.

1. The lower control arm bracket has 6 holes in which you can move the lower shock mount to. I actually moved them to lowest setting this evening. Each hole is 5/8" apart. That made a HUGE difference.
2. I still have 1-1/2" of adjustment left in the springs. They're at full length right now. Plus, there's no weight in it right now. It's just a shell. Chassisworks recommends a shock length of 13"-14" in their installation instructions. I'm at 14-1/2" overall length right now.

Do you plan on ordering a G-Link?
