Check out what I've been up to
 

I've got the front end straight now, and temporarily painted for now. Today I had some new tires mounted on my ralley's and I put the new springs in. Eventually I want to do a drop spindle, but for now all I could afford were 3-4 drop springs. It actually doesn't ride that bad! :) I haven't even put the trim rings and caps on yet. I couldn't wait to show y'all.:lol:

Here are some progress pics...

Travis, it looks good buddy. I wish I coulda been there to help!

To make up for it, I'll trade you my truck for your Chevelle? :hm:

nice job! keep up the good work!

WOW! Those are only 3" front drop springs? I put 3's in mine & with a big block it sits higher than yours. I wish mine looked like that. It really changes the look for the better doesnt it?...

Lookin' good! There is something very satisfying about making things whole again....
Thanks for sharing!

Hey Brad, I wish you could have been here too!!! That's nice of you to offer your truck for the Chevelle, but I'd never hold you too it... :)

Cornfed, I was a little shocked that it dropped it that much. I went with 255/60's in the rear and 235/60's in the front. After having them mounted, I realized that they are pretty small for the truck. I meant to get a height measurment before I started, but of course I didn't. I was shocked when I had a hard time getting the jack out from underneath it when I let it down. I'm just happy that it rides decent! And I was happy with the new gearing too, going from 31/10.50/15's to 255/60's.

Thanks for the compliments! It meant a lot when my wife came home right after I finished and she said she really liked it. Now I plan on putting an automatic in it so she can drive it..
