Here are the pics. I should mention, as earlier on, the motor is back in the car and it moves under its own power lol. I also sold the front discs and swapped on drums for less rotating weight and removed the swaybar. The rear now has a Trak-lok and 4.62's, and a pair of Lakewood slapper bars I got dirt cheap. I do have a pattern for a homebuilt caltrac-style traction bar I found on a hotrod forum; if I get bored I may fab a pair if I have the right stuff in scrap iron. I'd love to buy the real deal, but the cost would be equal to 20% of my total investment in the whole car!

And if there is time after the car runs well and consistent enough, I will throw the Rustoleum and a roller at it. For now its all the same color and will shine up ok. The youtube $50 paint job is no joke; it works!
