How it appeared before modification...just not near as clean.

Got some more done today, complete front clip back together , subframe connectors in , new leaf springs in ,new caltracs put together , all new control arm bushings , new shafts installed with new tall upper and new lower ball joints, (thanks uncle Tony for putting the bushings and ball joints together without scratching the new powder coat lol) . Upper control arms installed. My dad will put some pics up soon . Next weekend try to put the new Moroso springs in without scratching everything up, and probably put the rearend housing in. That's all for now .

Everything looks immaculate. Be interested in the spring number and how much you end up cutting them in the end. I'm sure before long there will be a Rat in ours as well.

Yeh Rich I went with the 47150 spring because it will be alum headed . We had the 47150 spring in the car with the small block with one coil cut off , so I'm hoping that the uncut 47150 is the ticket!

The bbc for me is a first , I hope it goes as well as planned.

We used the same with 1-1/2 coils cut. Looked great for most of the season, but she's in the weeds now lol.

Nice Build. Question, are you using stock rubber bushings in your front upper control arms?
I have solid bushings in my Impala, used solids in bottom too. Am I too "old school"

I thought you guys did. I remember years ago we got wacked in the final at Super Chevy by you guys at Indy. I was so impressed with his driving a stick so well. Neat car.

Yeah I remember that day for sure. I think back in 2003, Black 67 or 68 Camaro. What a day that was.We have it on tape and watch it still today.
How you guys doing? You can check out Todd's car on faceback under Vince Tosto.
We will remember that day as long as we live. What a race.
