I'll start calling around... man it's been pouring here :) I haven't touched the suspension, on the local roads it isn't too bad but before braving the freeway I will do some adjustments....

thanks again for the great pics and explanation...

Also, the rear looks like this, no frame, just the lip around the window, how would I go about installing glass into this space?

thanks, makes sense now. Sounds pretty unanimous, gonna get rid of the lexan. It shouldn't be too hard, I have the frame so I just need to cut out a template for the glass I need. The center is bent, can they put a bend into the glass?

I'm assuming it's very basic but nevertheless I can't quite grasp it.... How does this install in a car? I have lexan in my ride, can I still use it?

I checked the back and there is very little travel due to a little problem that I missed somehow... maybe you guys can see it in the pic but the trailing arm is right under the frame rail so the diff housing can only travel 0.5" before hitting it... here is a view from the top and where it's...

I don't think they could get pulled out but they could come loose and that would cause the front end to swing up quite a bit..... I've been thinking about drilling a whole right through the center and putting a bolt to pass through leaves but don't know if that would really do a whole lot. I...

The info is great. I've been thinking about a pan hard bar. What kind of front end do you recommend? I actually didn't do a lot of research about those rear shocks.

I'm happy to report I'm in one piece after the trip but there were problems. The first stretch if the drive was great, stayed in the slow lane. However the car started doing the bouncing thing that those import modified cars do when they cut their springs. The front would bounce up and as it...

Well it won't be a long trip, 30 miles. I will make sure I have some tools which I totally didn't think of. I will take an extra gas canister and will have my paperwork. I think going over every bolt is a really good idea. And blanket. ...why didn't I think of that.

It's all done. Have taken it for a few short trips and it has done well. Wondering if there is a check list that you guys recommend I check off before taking it on the freeway.

I got the engine firing up... it's a basic rebuild.... the initial timing is at 32... the distributor I have I'm assuming has some advance but I didn't check to see what the timing is advanced... this might be a basic question but should I change the initial timing or leave it or check the...

Hey bro! How you been? Right now I have a points distributor but was thinking of doing a pertronix upgrade if there is something like that for this distributor.

got it! thanks for the clarification....

quick question about the resistor drawing on this pic going to the coil. I can use a light bulb to serve as a resistor? I suppose I don't fully understand the purpose of the resistor.
