Nice work.

The LS springs, mine can not be anywhere near the size of those. My doors used to drag the curb every time I parked next to one.

Infact, I had to install spacers in the rear springs to get away from this. It's a royal pain in the @$$ to have to re-paint the bottoms of the doors every so often.

Wow, I didn't realize that it's been a couple of years since I updated this thread.

Since then I cleaned up the engine bay and added headers, B-body Brake Booster and a few other things.

Well another year and more changes coming. Did this yesterday...

Did more work on the car. Installed the new wire separators and painted the brake components to be installed tomorrow.

Jealous of the tan interior by the way.

yes, wanted to wait to get the wheels to confirm the size. thinking of going with something along the lines of this... just want to try a couple different color combinations before I pull the trigger. thinking of going with gold instead of the silver. but may try gold background or gold ss with green striping.
