Took half a dozen nights after work, and weekend afternoons, but it's finally done. Some thoughts on the US Car Tool kit... Very high quality pieces. Not great directions or measurements, but it's fairly strait forward. Cannot necessarily trust the pre-drilled holes when lining the front boxes up to the subframe rails. The left box was a good 1/4" off center left to right. I imagine the car is a little twisted like most 47 year old cars would be. When the upper holes lined up it made the boxes somewhat crooked up and down. The shackle hangers for the rear lined up perfect, so that was a bolt in and weld up deal. The crappy part was I had to put a couple significant notches in the front spring mounts for the CalTrac plates. There was a LOT of measuring, cutting, grinding a little, checking, grinding, tacking, welding, measuring, drinking, welding, bolting the springs in, measuring, welding, drinking, taking things out, welding, putting it back together, measuring, taking stuff apart, welding, drinking... A very tedious process. Got the rear end within .010" of center left to right, lowered ride height an inch and the pinion pointing 2* down. Have to get the wheels and tires now to see if I need to hack the tubs out or not.
Hope I never have to do it again, but if I do then I'd get this kit over the mopar one.
