Gonna take a few more weeks the way I am going. Then I need to do the rear blocks and finally bolt my headers up, bolt the new distributor on, rebuild and rejet my Carter AFB and redo some wiring. Then I will shoot the frame, fender well and tank with some semi or flat black and be done.

The way it's looking, I am going to get an easy 3" or more lift out of the 6" TC springs then the supposed 4" springs I had. I wouldn't even give the old springs away... Gonna have to toss them.

All in all, the old rule applies- Simple projects turn into bigger projects when you really start looking at all that needs to be done.

Thanks for the support. I think we are going to ALL like the outcome!
