Man that thing is looking just to purdy!! You should consider getting some different springs under her though, the stock 4x4 look just really doesn't do our cars justice, IMHO.

It usually doesn't sit that high. When I jacked up the the car to put the wheels on the suspension hadn't really settled back. I didn't really want to bounce on my freshly painted bumper.

So when do you drive her home? SWEET

[RFranklin]

I'm hoping soon. The only things left are the Spats, Rocker Moldings, Body Side Moldings, Dew wipe/moldings and the windows trim moldings. I had to track down a correct window trim molding in a junk yard this weekend. We both missed it during prep but, the driver side door was a newer door "that was replaced sometime". The molding stopped at the mirror . So after 5 hornet bee stings I was able to get the correct one. I guess it's not a restoration if there isn't some level pain.. LOL ..

5 bee-stings for a correct trim piece, sounds reasonable, carry on

[RFranklin]

Spats Installed and Drip rail color corrected. Not too much left. Rocker Moldings, Drivers Mirror, Wiper Arms, Body Side Moldings, Locks and Door handles.

Thanks for all the positive comments. I'll start posting interior progress soon. I'm pulling the dash this weekend and redoing all the heating and AC work. I need to order the AC Kit from late model restoration do a complete 134 change over.
