Oh yeah...almost forgot. The diff is ready now too! Powder coated the housing, new axles, new Timken bearings and seals, new install kit, Eaton TruTrac carrier, and setup a nice pattern on the old GM ring and pinion. Buttoned up the cover late this afternoon and just need to add some fluid before I put the brakes on it. Big thanks to Freddie for some real sound advice along the way.

I'm glad to help. I hate to see people spend good money on parts that aren't good.

LOL @ Rob
So I see from the pictures that you wanna race. You got winter tires on that car? Cause I have seen you beach goer's drive when the rubber hits the ice.

Staying with it today I was hoping to get the brakes completed on the diff but need a couple of parts so that will have to wait. I then got onto the front subframe and got the control arms in, the new springs installed and got creative with a couple front shocks that are now disguised as Gabriel/Hurst. I like the look of these. More to come in the days ahead.

I like your style, get everything you need to do the car and bang it out! No waiting around.

Yes it makes it a bit harder but it's still doable. IMO, those top two nuts are always a balancing act whether the springs and control arms are in there or not. At least it always seems that way. I thought about installing frame mounts yesterday...but all I have right now is a repo pair that were used for mocking up a dummy engine while the headers were being fabbed. I'm still looking for an original pair of mounts and will have to get those nuts on the back sides once I find the right pair of mounts to use.

Did you get new coil springs, and why black?
Someone had put big block springs in my Z  The Moog 6308's going back in came with a vinyl coating but I'm going to strip it off..

These are moogs and I left the finish that was on them. I got them from Heartbeat and I'm pretty certain they use the 6312 springs for Z/28's. I'll see what they are like once everything is in but with big heavy headers and a bunch of other stuff being added to the front end, I am hoping to have heavy enough springs and not have it sag.
Adding vac pump, power steering, heavy weight headers, line loc, bigger radiator, and might still run a tunnel ram if I find the right setup.
