Getting things organized. Once the front end is up the car has to be leveled left to right and front to back. Then the fun starts. Dropping the exhaust system and ripping out the old suspension.

Well it looks like project creep has set in. The owner stopped by yesterday and in addition to the 4-link we are now also installing 1 piece axles. Should have some progress pictures soon but getting ready for GAD is slowing things down a bit.

Ok, update on the progress. The rear is stripped out and time to fire up old sparky and get to welding. Oh, and a line locker has been added to the project.

Moving along. Lower brackets welded to the axle and the upper brackets are mocked up and ready for welding.

It's a wrap for the 4 link and the one piece axles. Now the exhaust pipes up and over the 4 link need to be address.
