Might want to check those springs while you're at it.

Now that the Power Tour is over and the Impala is Issue Free.....Time to get back to Kevin's car......Going together for the last time.......still need to get a few things sorted out but basically it's moving along.....the last issues are the wiring and getting the steering rack linkage in....waiting for the column to be painted.....
