Updated pics of my project

[Lynn]

Think I have the mechanicals all worked out, other than the posi clutches still being stuck. But, waiting on some big tires to put on the rear and will go do some figure 8's. Not sure if these E70 15 bias ply tires can overcome the stuck clutches.

Set it up to sit 5/8 inch lower in the front. I used 1970 big block Chevelle springs with one or two coils (can't remember which) cut off and a 3/8 hard rubber spacer under each spring. I still have my original Z springs in very good condition. They haven't been in the car since 1977. The extra firm springs along with the Koni's adjusted 80% firm make for pretty stiff, but still tolerable ride.

I have the ability to lower the rear by 1 inch in about 15 minutes without lowering blocks. I may have to when I put the 275 60 15 tires on the rear just to keep the stance the same.

Gonna start prepping for stripes today. Ordered a quart of trunk paint Fri. and am hoping for next weekend.

Then, I still need to paint the front bumper. After that, it is just cut and buff and final assy of the grill, emblems etc.

These wheels are FW's, but I have a set of YH wheels for it that still need blasted and painted. Also have a set of old school staggered Centerline auto drags to put the big tires on.

Any recs on wheel paint? I have a couple of OLD cans from Eastwood, but generally have found their products pretty much dime store quality. I know the wheels were enamal fromt the factory. Just don't know who makes the best match.
