Lets see I needed to get the Roadrunner out so I'm working in the gravel for the short term. I got the 8 3/4 narrowed and waiting on axels so I thought I'd put things together and make sure it fits. All is good when I swing the springs up to the frame.

what springs are you running? im thinking of converting to sliders on my 69 valiant but im currently using 2 drivers side ss springs. also what did you have to do to the sliders to make them fit?

They are stock to start with and I will most likely add caltracs or something later. A friend of mine that races a-bodies said the stock springs work well with them, we shall see.

It was nice out so I did some mock up today. Set it down on the K-frame and dropped the 440 in so I could see what needs relocated on the fire wall. Blower motor has to go everything else looks good. I need to call Vintage air and see where everything connects. Guess I'll be welding some holes up and cutting new ones.

It gets to be a dark brown without direct light, hopefully the body lines will make it work.

That's a funny way to take a picture of your house???
But seriously, looks fantastic! That color looks good on the car.
