"Total" rebuild??

I replaced ALL of the bushings. I didn't preload the ball joints though..didn't know it made a difference. I'll take care of that though, thanks:thumbup:

Yes, just the basic rebuild did wonders. The front end was so bad before that it just wallowed in the turns and bottomed out easily. Almost no support.

Even without the swaybar it has a much firmer ride, the steering is great compared to the old power system, and it turns pretty well. There is still a noticeable amount of body roll in sharp turns, but I expect that until the sway bar is taken care of.

The dash plate is just something I came up with to be different, and allow for a modern 1 DIN radio. I still have the rest of the dash to do, but this was just "one of those things". I would really like to cut the dash up and weld that plate right into the dash to make it look stock. But since I don't have a welder that would be a bit tough. Maybe down the road.....

I have the original templates I used to make the switchplate and dash piece, I just haven't gotten around to making drafts of them. I guess I could for anyone that might want the plans.
