Working on it for about 7 hours on Saturday. I love car lifts 😃 Degreased, scraped, and wire wheeled the underbody for a good portion of the day. Before: ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4125.JPG](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4125.JPG) After: ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4134.JPG](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4134.JPG) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4136.JPG](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4136.JPG) Some minor touch ups are getting done to the car while I’m at work. As for me, I’m working on installing new stainless steel brake lines, fuel line, electric fuel pump and new shocks all the way around. Also dropping the ass end down. Need to do: Bring the exhaust to Muffler Man and get new collectors welded on and it shortened a slight bit. Cut down the driveshaft about 1 inch. Finish electrical work and then fire it up. Other than that, finish assembling interior (seats, door panels, and dash). Get new power steering lines made. And get an alignment. Busting my butt to get it done :snky: ---

Got some more work done today Exhaust was originally made by MufflerMan, but the collectors wouldn’t bolt up and it was too long with the big block. Brought them back to get shortened and new collectors made. Will bring the car there when it is done to get them welded back on. ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4154.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4154.jpg) And in ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4165.JPG](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4165.JPG) From the other day, 4 new KYB shocks - showing through the 2" Hotchkis drop springs ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4163.JPG](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4163.JPG) Also got all the brake lines on. Finishing those this weekend and installing the master cylinder and proportioning valve. Minor touch up and spring drop in the beginning of the week, and hoping to put all 4 new wheels on and trailer it home to finish up electrical and fire her up ---

Dropped the rear shackles from 70’s racing height to normal. Gave it about 2 inches worth of drop. Looks 100% better 😃 ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4746.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4746.jpg) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4745.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4745.jpg) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4749.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_4749.jpg) BTW, here is the before height before the drop ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_3980.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_3980.jpg) Also put on the cooling lines and radiator hoses.

[quote=“bladez,post:436,topic:13530"”] looks like a whole different car with it dropped that far now 😃 looks like its coming along great 😃 [/quote] 😃 After we put on the rear wheels we did notice the front springs are starting to drop a little bit. I think sitting on a lift for 2 weeks stretched them out. But the new stance is :tup: I hope to get it home early next week to finish wiring and some minor work and then fire it up. ---
