All you got done was a re-build into a 3.2 SS???? SLAKKER!! :-)

One minor point - some folks turn the bolt around that goes through the rear control arm. If you ever need to remove it when the engine/trans are in I hear its too long to remove - hits the trans case. If you turn it around you can remove it and there is room to get the bolt out....not that that bolt will ever have to come out of this car for many years!

Did you forget to reinforce the rear shock towers?

That is the nicest steering column I've ever seen.

Hi,
What method was used to strip the paint off the car?
Is it possible to know the cost for stripping job?
Many thanks.

Fully agree, slacking at it's finest
We had another project that got in the way again.
As for the bolts on the trailing arms they are and they are also the ones from I think Elephant

We decided we were not going to go with coilovers at this time so it was not needed.
If we decide to later I can pull motor and weld in the reinforcements.
thanks on the column. It's amazing what a little plating can do

Paint strip was done at a media blaster in Sacramento and sprayed with that black stuff I can't remember the exact price but I want to say it was several thousand.
