Beautiful!

As for the height, my T/A was the same way with its original springs when I reinstalled them. Until you drive it and give the suspension some real world travel up and down, it wont settle down to its correct right height.

Thank you for the comments everyone and yes the gas cap is getting painted. I just had not done that yet as well as several other details as can be seen in the photos. It has definitely been a labor of love!

The car recently went on a 1000 mile round trip trailer ride and it changed nothing. Not the same as driving but I would have expected it to settle some even in the trailer.

car looks great , nice job

one very minor thing I notice on the picture of the tail

In one of the original 68 Yenko photos, the SS was blacked out on the gas cap.. Don't know if all the 68s were done that way but Yenko did remove the SS emblems and makes sense that the gas cap would be painted black.

it looks kind of cluttered with the white SS emblem and the 2 Yenko emblems on the tail.
