 ! OH HELL YES !

Why the fuck didn't I change the rear springs SOONER !

 

One of the previous Owners cut the rear springs really short for the, Tucked low Camber look.

 

I will trade performance for Low looks all day long.

 

It raised the rear 1.75 " . Hardly noticeable

 

The new springs give it fantastic weight transfer out of the hole . She takes off like a rocket.

and pucker up cornering, you better hang on !

I ordered '68 Camaro mirrors for it on Friday. Bent a new front hard line and bled the brakes on Bamboo, today. Thanks, Josh.

And primed the fuel pump and started the V8 car for the first time in a long time. Once I knew it would run, I put the half shafts back in it (not fun to push with the lsd)... and then the pump un-primed itself, again. I have to see if it's just old or if the location and push/pull are issues. I think it's just old and dried up.

Built my tow bar today. Fits like a glove. Then I used it to tow my car home from my buddies property. Worked prefect, towed beautifully. Before we left I loaded a 2wd 720 z22 engine with 5 speed trans into the cargo area and strapped it down. Pics to follow. Or maybe it's just time I start a build thread...

Well got the 70 and 72 fired up and pulled out. Took the 70 for a ride to eat. Gonna fill it with some no ethanol gas and add a little more seafome. The car seems to be comming around. It is running way better at this moment. Next to get some new tires, I got insurence last week. The 72 has some rear break issues I have to look at.

At a friends apt visiting. I put some no ethanol gas in her, got to add some more saefome in her. She's running but not at 100% yet she's holding back some power. At least the issue of the funk clogging at the tank seems to not be happening lately. This is really making me happy.

Now I really need to give her a good cleaning up.

Found these I believe they are for a 68-69 lower control arm bushings. They sold me the wrong ones way back, I have a 70 and the others are 72's. There were 10 in the bag I have 2 more here somewhere. Should be enough for three 68-69 cars. I wish I had more info back then.

Confirmed they are early style. Need to unload?

I do not see myself using them for sure. I could use a set of stock seat belts for the front seats because the old lady who I got the 70/510 cut them out of the car. I think I still have the shoulder belts but that's it. And I do not think the 70/510 uses those bushings.
