Thanks. Once we finally decided to get started we staring humping it. We removed the Hurst Hatches completely and took off everything we could. The only body part I had to buy was a repo rear bumper cover. Everything else was fine with zero rust. That made it a lot easier.

I'll get some more pics posted when I get back from this business trip. New 15x8 snowflakes and 255/60's are on. All the weatherstrips have been replaced. Now just waiting to get all the decals on. I'm pleased so far. Motor fresh...ready to ride!

I'd love it if it was lowered about 1" but I'm not sure I want to go that far.

It's good just like it is!!! Too many issues if you get much lower. I don't like being paranoid going through a parking lot over a speed bump, or even normal dips and highs in street. Crushing headers and dragging mufflers are not on my list of "to do's"...
