Re: '67 Chevy II Build - Betty.

Alright, time for a mid-day update.

Checked level, and after jacking up one side in the front a bit for it to be level, the back seems to be level as well. Mind you, this is with the springs in.

Then took the springs out, and jacked up the rear end. And, well. Pics.









How's that for suspension travel?

It jacked up really easy, no binding, etc. So, I'm pretty pleased with that. After I took the pics, I gave the floor jack a few more pumps, and made it so that beer can just about fit under the tire standing up.

I also took note of where the springs sat, and am real happy with what I have to work with that, it's almost right where the stock shocks bolted in.

So, now comes the time to go back and measure some more, to make sure my crossmember is square, and the rear end is perpendicular to the car. Gah, this one's gonna suck...

But, that's it for now.

-Sam.
