My old pal Mark Williams built me a new set of chrome moly 1/2-shafts (as usual for M-W components, they're awesome!).
I added the adjustable camber rod setup from Van Steel, a Van Steel composite leaf spring and Bilstein rear shocks. It all went together smoothly (usually does with good parts). I still have to torque the centre spring bolts (must be done with the car on the ground) and install an OEM type rear sway bar (low HP small block cars don't have one).
BTW...the car sits a little high on the back end but there's no gas in the tank, no wiring harness, no spare tire or carrier and a completely empty interior. I expect it will drop down at the back and obviously a bunch more in the front with an engine and transmission installed. I can't accurately set the camber until it's at ride height and ready to drive weight. In addition, one of the techs at Van Steel suggested I ditch the French locks on the half shafts and use lock washers and Loctite....
Small (accomplishment) happy dance...
