I have some pics of the rear mount for the leaf springs. I didn't like the way they had it done in the instructions, because it would have made the shackels alot lower. So I did it different and I think it will be stronger. Here goes...

I notched the frame for shackle movement and I wanted the shackle at factory height.

I welded in the sleeve and welded washers on both sides. I also boxed in the frame where I notched it.

And now the Intermission ...........

Wow you did a lot on that car

Very nice work. Talented guys like you make it look easy!

Where did you get the stuff for the mini tub and leaf spring relocation mods?

I bought the spring relocation kit from Mancini's and the only thing I needed for the inner fenders was some sheet metal and I bought that at Lowe's.

I finished up the bottom of the car other than painting it. Its mostly rust encapsulator and primer.

I'm leaving undercoating in the wheel wells.

I'm going to start on the engine compartment next, fixing holes, and make it look a little smoother than factory.

I finished up some minor things on the car, but its still progress. I cleaned and sanded the engine bay and will sand it two more times before paint.

The interior is cleaned and sanded and I will prime and sand one more time before paint, but I'm not gonna get it too pretty since it will all be covered up.

I'm ready to move on to the next "phase" of my project. The main body is repaired as far as rust is concerned. I'm ready to start sanding the main body and repair and sand the body panels. Here is the shell ready for some sanding.

Here's what I have to deal with on both doors. Someone installed upholestery on the upper door panels and drilled ALOT of holes to secure the fabric to the panels.

Checkout these seat covers. All those buttons are going to be a pain to remove.

Thats all for now, maybe next time I'll have a little color on something.

Rolled the car outside yesterday and gave it its first coat of primer on the new roof and 1/4's.
