Took it out around town looking for a good spot for pictures. Found an empty office building so I took a few shots.

Andy, did you have an LPW girdle cover on the S60?
I have an A-body spec S60 with the LPW as an option from Strange that I want to put in my Duster. I am sure I am going to have to clearance my stock gas tank for it but hoping to hear the good news that it clears it. I may have to get that Spicer cover.
The rear is currently in my E-body with the spring hangers moved all the way up against the frame which puts the perches exactly in the A-body spring location, 43" OC. The width is within an 1/4" of A-body spec to fit the mini-tubbed 'cuda. Going 9" on the 'cuda and looking to replace the 8.25" that is in the Duster.

I put the car up for sale and have a local guy coming to take a look at it tomorrow. He sounds serious and says his wife approves so maybe he'll take it. If not, I've had a few other say they are interested so I'm sure it will sell this summer.
I've put 600 miles of driving on it recently and it runs really well. It is a little noisy due to the Cal Trac setup and the interior tin. I think some carpet over the tin would solve the noise so that is an option for the next guy to do. The car runs very strong on the street but I haven't gone to the track yet. I'm planning to take it this week but if the guy buys it before I run it then I won't go. I did have it out the other day for a test drive and the data recorder showed it pulling 0.90 G's as I was taking off. That was at about 3/4 throttle and on the street with cold tires. So it hooks pretty well.
The new gas tank works really well with no sloshing and the pump stays primed all the way down to empty. I've made some updates to the dash configuration and now it shows me everything I want to know as I'm driving the car. I have an alternate dash setup that I can toggle to that is a more classic 6 gauge setup with odometer. Just comes down to user preference. The Pro Dash setup holds 10 different dash configurations at the same time so you can go crazy if you want.

Man that is a nice piece for sure and priced solid. Good luck with the sale. I'd be all over it if I didn't have a new deal.
