    Keep the momentum.  It is looking really good.  I think you're going to get on the road before me and I'm looking forward to the start-up. :popcorn:

    Nice! I had the same thing done to mine by steer and gear. Nice guys, good work and less expensive!

    Can't believe you beat me to putting the car on all fours!
    Yea I live 30 minute from them so no shipping! 
    Well, the rear end just came out today so a quick clean...paint job...and new springs and it's going back under her...I'm not messing with scraping the factory undercoating off again...however a nice set of new disc brakes would look soooo good!!!

    Wheels look good! I know you posted specs on the wheels and tires but I forget where to look back, what are they/where can I find them?

    Moving right along over there!!  Looks good too! The yellow pops.   And I agree the wheels are a great choice!  Down on all fours again!!   Won't be long now and you'll stab that engine back in there.  Keep up the fine work!      Dig those bull horns !  ha.    And a black velvet Elvis !!   SweeeeT  !   :2thumbs:

    They are us mag ramblers....I found the best deal was on eBay....fronts are 18x8 255 35 18 rears are 18x9.5 275 35 18....no rubs....discount tire had the best price on the tires. I took them down and had them out on....hope that helps...

    Haven't posted for a while but I've been working away....installed the rear spoiler today....I never liked the way you could see the body color between the spoiler and the rear trim so I moved it back...haven't adjusted the trunk yet...carpet is in....I'm waiting on my buddy to put my green bearings on so I can do the rear brakes....I'm taking dash out to do rewire and detail paint....radiator is in also...steering box was rebuilt to level 3 by steer and gear....slowly getting there!!

    I do have a few questions....my steering column doesn't seem right....is there something that goes where my finger is pointing??

    Also I have the adjustable rear sway bar...I can't tell where the mount attached to the frame...the instructions suck....does it attach where the factory one went???  Does the bar go parallel then attach it???sry for the crappy pics

    Column looks good, I adjust the shaft so it's centered in the tube when steering column is assembled into the car.
    The sway bar needs brackets welded to the frame. Here is mine.

    Can't tell from the picture, but do you have the foam insulator installed on the shaft?  There are two, one larger one that goes where your finger is pointing and a smaller one that goes on the steering shaft itself.

    I put a new bearing in the steering shaft where you are pointing, I think its model ER16 from a durango? It's in my thread:
