That's really nice.  Makes me wish I didn't have a numbers matching car so I could modify the suspension like that.   :2thumbs:

engine is also getting close to being done.had to use the push rod tool to get the correct length.it sure comes in handy for building a engine . plus i have the bellhousing all dialed in.it took .007 offset dowels.
