It covers very nicely and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to freshen up the underbody!

Under coating completed and time to install the Super Stock springs and the Narrowed Diff!
My check list still seems endless.

Almost done.

Install the Diff bumpers.
Problems;
The bracket where the main brake cable meets the right and left cables also where the adjuster is was removed to install the forward spring boxes. Not sure what to do?
Both right and left cables are too long because of the shortened diff. Not sure what to do here either?
Any ideas welcome!

Might try to install the gas tank in the AM. Christmas eve and I'll be working on my car
P.S. It was in the low 80's today Doesn't feel much like Christmas yet.

Problem Solved!
The Parking Brake Bracket mounted nicely to the drivers side spring box and with a little rerouting and persuasion of the right and left brake cables, we now have parking brakes!

Almost looks like I know what I'm doing
I did say almost

I installed the Drive Shaft and decided to install the column shift linkage and Throttle Pressure (Kick Down) linkage too. That's were I ran into another issue, the Kick Down linkage hits the bell housing side selector shaft arm while in Park and Reverse.
Did I mention how much I love my Lincoln Mig Welder?
A little hammer straight, a little cut here, a little grind there and break out the Mig

Now, that works better.

I forgot to mention how many times I did measure before cutting
It fits very nicely.

It's back on all 4 wheels! Rolling on the narrowed rear for the first time.

Installing the front shocks reveled another issue. The Chassis Engineering 3 way adjustable shocks are supplied with some TINY upper washers and rubber grommets. I had to find better hardware and modify it to fit. Nothing seems ever just "Bolt On" I dont know what these tiny bushings and washers fit but it sure isnt 60's or 70's Mopar

installed

I have the same issue with my '67 Satellite.
If you look close, the rubber bushing has actually pulled through to the under side of the frame mount!
No, I didn't install these, it's how I received the car. Must have been a local mechanic that did the work for the elderly couple I purchased the car from. Later project!

This is an excellent thread--thank you! I like the way you work, kinda "expert shade tree". I work in a similar fashion but not at your level. Since you mention this is a "cheapo" build have you ever thought about chronicling the expenses?

Nice work. Keep posting.

You have to Thank the Moderators for the "Cha Ching Cheapo"
Someone on this forum was commenting on how "Expensive" it becomes when you cut corners and use "El Cheapo" imported parts and they fail.

I Chimed in because I noticed that "El Cheapo" refers to a part made in Latin America and since most the imported parts now come from China, I thought the correct phrase would be "Cha Ching Cleapo". Well it stuck and for some time that was my "Status".
As for your question, I'm not sure I want (or for my wife) to know how much.
I'll probably gather my notes and receipts some day.
Thanks for the encouragement

YEP,
I HATE SANDING!!!

One thing I noticed climbing into the trunk to sand, the super stock springs don't give at all Hard as a ROCK!?
The stock springs would at least budge when I (225lbs) would climb aboard? I hope they soften a bit.

not looking forward to more sanding

Sanding will never end

the more i sand and prime, the more i see needs sanding. this is the part of the build i am not enjoying at all
My drive to get it done is that it is holding-up the gas tank and filler tube install and the 3/8 fuel line install too. once the paint work in the trunk is complete, i can install the rest and then have the exhaust system installed.
