But when you spend good money on things that simply don't work as delivered its bullship ... See what I did right there

In this case vintage airs bracket .....designed and delivered as an assembly isn't even close and theirs not enough material to alter the holes to hack it together.

just pissed that everything I touch is less then what it should be... These are not cheap parts fellas ...

Typical!
I love "bolt in" stuff.
That's why order cheaper stuff or junk yard dive when I can. I just do it with the realization that I'll have to modify it anyway. Then it doesn't make me feel so bad. Of course, there are always those parts that you've got to have that are supposed to fit. When they don't, I always call the company and tell them the issues I had, hoping it will help the next guy.

Oh, Cars looking good BTW!

Looks good, let me know if you're up for some beer drinking or need a hand wrenching. I am not that far from you, in Chester, NH. I have a few projects going. I have a 70 GMC C10, a few Jeeps and a few bikes.

Got my rear shocks I mocked in... Looks like I have plenty of interference clearance on compression... Their was a fear that the watts ascushion was going to mash the watts crossmember... Still want to drop it down a few turns but plenty of room now I think

That's certainly good news. Rear suspension is looking pretty, too.

Is that at ride height?

You have a lot more clearance on the driver's side than I do. Looking at the picture below, you can see that the mount for the upper Watt's rod on the driver's side is about 3-4" further out than on yours. That caused me some grief trying to clear the shock...

I think it's still about 1 inch above ride hight but not too far off defiantly not done I literally just put these in Sunday ..

From the side the tire is level with the lip but I like it lower... Not out the woods until the car is loded with fuel on the ground or on scales

Perhaps I am be hopeful and optimistic but for now I am thinking positive
