Looking sweet. You are a little ahead of me in your resto. Hopefully, I'll close behind soon. It's making me itchy to get my car back together. Did you blast the K-frame and suspension parts before painting or did you have them powder coated?

How about the plumbing? Did you do it yourself or did you order a kit?

Is that the stock leaf spring location? I'm thinking of having my wheels widened to 15x7 with a 4.5" backspacing. How close are the springs? I was thinking I could only get 225/60s back there.

The springs are moved inboard but the rear end has not been narrowed. If you inboard your springs you can easily get a 245/60/15 with a 4 1/2 offset under the wheel well. I wend with the 235 since I could only get a 4 inch offset with these wheels. American could only go a 4 inch offset with the 15X7. If I had gone to 8 inch then they could get me the offset i wanted.. 15X8 would have caused me more problems with the wheel lip.
