It's been a while since I updated this.....
Since the engine is now in, I could finalize the rear suspension and get the new driveshaft ordered - New Bilstein 5100 series shocks, ORD shock mount braces & ORD shackly flip kit. While I was at it I relocated the rear axle to get it centered in the wheelwell since the flip kit moves it forward a bit (I haven't cut off the U-bolts yet - waiting to get the driveshaft in and double check the angles again before trimming that up)
Engine accessories going on - most importantly the AC Compressor for the new Vintage Air system lol
