Good luck on the final inspect although I imagine it won't have any issues being in Texas.

If I might make one suggestion on your rear suspension set-up.... I would triangulate the frame bracket for the Panhard Bar. When they sit more than a couple of inches from the rail the 'length of the lever' effect comes into play & there's a bunch of tension on them. I think we discussed it @ some point but in that image I still don't see anything helping support the length. On my 64, I used the original bar & repurposed it for the gusset support bar.

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... *Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.*
