Re: My 66 shorty I'm building

Hello, got on with building, front disc brakes, new master/w booster. Rebuilt my front end added a sway new shocks 2 1/2 drop spindels 4'' drop springs in rear. Bought the grand slam from cpp. This was much harder than I expected. I know for many it would be easy, but not for me. They call it a bolt on but some bolts are a little hard than others I guess.
