Thanks Tone. As with each project, there is always a small list of issues that need to be addressed before everything is where you would like it.

1. Speedo has decided that the needle wants to jump and the odometer does not want to turn any more.
2. Tach works fine up until 1500 rpm and then drops off to zero.
3. I have a dead spot in the powersteering about 1/4 turn off center to the right. There are no clearance issues, no belt slippage and fluid is right up, so I am thinking the original steering box may be having an issue.

It's the little annoying things that I want to get cleaned up before I can really enjoy the car to it's fullest.

Very good. I know once those things are done and gone, you'll be extremely happy taking her out for a cruise. That is a great looking car. Enjoy!

A little more candy for the rear 4-link. Ridetech triple adjustable coil overs with remote resevoirs.
Hopefully will help with the sharpness of the ride on the street.

Shocks Installed. Had to wait for some extra bushings from Ridetech so that took an extra week. I utilized an existing hitch bar that was on the car to hold the resevoirs. Worked out pretty well.

Wow...what a difference with these shocks. Not even the same car anymore. Now to swap out the fronts to triples and I am golden.

Finally got the car back into the body shop for some minor touch ups and fixes. Pretty happy with the final product.
