Finally got it up and running again. The starter still isn't right. But we hope it starts enough times to make the front end alignment appointment Friday. The extra shims Rob recommended just destroyed the gear worse than before. It still starts for now, but it sounds awful, lol. Decided to just pull it off the lift for now and get it to the front end shop, already cancelled last weeks appointment because of this deal, don't really want to keep doing that.
We'll deal with the starter again afterwards when dad decides what route he wants to go.
Anyway here are some pics of the car finally on the ground. Stance turned out pretty level. Very happy with Coil Spring Specialties, they pretty much nailed it with the specs we gave them. Got the his/hers shifter swapped in, back drive linkage is back in place so it has back up lights for the first time in 48 years, lol. I'll get the hood done after I get caught up on some other things around here.
