Re: my 80 build
didn't get much done today because of this
 I left the three inch drop springs in for a simple install  and for some reason the floor pans are really short where they start to angle up so it looks like have to cut some metal off the old patch panels

Re: my 80 build
got some work done today sandblasted the brake shields painted them and installed them, installed the brake hoses one had a split on the exterior shield they were still under warranty at Orielly's also I was able to warranty out the brake pads some time next week I will turn them at work.
pulled the c-notchs out of my old frame  there was still brake fluid in the caliper when I went to attach the hose to caliper the fluid dripped out and stripped most of the paint, they'll look ok till I get some willwood d-52s  brake line installed just need to install the brackets  starter installed and torqued down the torque converter bolts
