Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

I was going to install it last night but there were a lot of obstacles. My garage is a mess, still waiting on my diff carrier to come in off of back order, and still waiting on parts back from the powder coater.

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

Got the relocated shocks installed. One word of advice; If you decide to install these, throw out the instructions and pm me. I will show you an easier way to install them.

Thanks man, I am currently working on setting up the rear axle. I can only go so far with it though due to the fact that I still don't have my carrier that I had bought a month and a half ago.

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

Got bored last night on account that I STILL have no diff carrier. (I have it on good authority that it shipped out on Friday though.) So, I took some random pictures, enjoy!

Need som help here guys, I have only attempted doing this once before and it turned out horribly. From what I see online it looks like this is considered acceptable.
