Now that I have the valves "in hand" I can take the blueprints I've been working on to the machinist and have my valve manifold started. It'll kinda be like this but with 1/2" NPT connections and will mount my GC Extreme 1/2" valves. Should be pretty neato!

I can also finalize the template showing where to drill the mounting holes in the frame for the rear bags. I've had a couple people express interest in those. Sorry to ramble, I'm just excited to be DOING something!

Here's a couple pix...front A-arms and spindles mocked up to check fit, and a rear bag in place.
So these are 73-87 style a-arms and spindle with what year rotors and calipers? Was it a direct bolt on or didyou have to modify or fab something?Did you need the 73-87 crossmember?
