I've seen the dropmember, saw them from KP components. It's funny how many top notch guys belong to this site. There is some very talented people out there. I also saw Carter Hickman designs and a few others before finding this site. The drop member is a little out of my range, plus I already purchased all of my front suspension. Speaking of which I am going to begin installing the front cool ride system with strong arms tommorrow. I should have some pics of my progress soon.

got a little work done. I installed my ART front strong arm system. I need to take my spindles back off and re-paint them. I also need to pack my wheel bearings and finish the front steering components. The front ART system was easy to install and the fit was excellent. After seeing all of the other builds I wish I would have gone with a dropmember, oh well.

I was able to snag a freshly re-built 12 bolt main rear-end out of a 72 that was converted to posi with 373 gears. I need to get rid of mine now, 12 bolt non-posi with 5 lug axles.

Next up will be the rear ART system. Hope to have it in a month or two. See-ya

Lookin good and you know down the road when you buy a dropmember you can still use all your art parts!

Today I was able to install my brake lines. I still need a few more clips to finish the deal. I knew when I took photos of the bare frame with the old crappy lines they would come in handy. I had to look back at the photos to figure out where most of the clips went. The brake lines I used were all pre-bent stainless steel from classic industries. I had to do a little tweaking here and there to get them in perfect, but they worked out good. I also started to build a gauge consule out of an old glovebox door. I cut out the inside piece of metal and ground it as smooth as possible. I am going to cut out a piece of 12 gauge sheet metal and cover the front to make it stronger. A few pictures to start, and hopefully I will have more progress this week.
