Just Joel Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 And decided I might as well convert to the jdm marker light and badge configuration. Bought a set of 71' NOS arrows years ago and was waiting for the opportunity. Shaved all the old holes and cut some new ones... Finished up with a little more "close enough" rattle can for now and we're good to go. I look forward to the day when I can go after the paint and body for reals. 4 Quote Link to comment

Handles as well if not better than before and the link geometry seems spot on. Nothing better than rolling up with a very reasonable and comfortable ride height, then hitting switches and put the oil pan on the ground B) 10 Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 This evening I took a break and bolted on a few parts rather than do work that really needs done :D I'm really digging the 67' wheel. 5 Quote Link to comment
