Ya, its rolling in pretty good. The DS front is just starting to come up right in front of the A-arm. it came up about 4 inches. I'll pull it back down and try to sneek a little somethin in there to hold it for a little while longer. But it should be great for another run.

Just food for thought. Always remeber to wrap ALL of your wires going throught the firewall. I forgot to wrap the one going to my electric fan, and it shorted out on the sharp edge, and smoked my wires from the battery to my switch and from the switch to the fan. so I lost all power. I knew when the car filled with smoke and the wires were glowing red there was a problem. Oh well I'll double check next time. She was running GREAT to. Just starting to blow steam. I tried that water wetter for the first time and it seemed to work pretty good.

Oh ya the rear did pack in perfect, Just like it was supposed to. Here is the hump on the DS the one on the other side is a little worse but I cant get in there to take a pic. I wasreally impressed with the short shock trick, It held it from humping up when the humps kinked and slowed it way down. I got alot of hard use out of the back of this car. And the front. Hopefully I'm gonna try to trade this car for a 93 Crown Vic. keep your fingers crossed. But I'll need lotsa advice and help and tricks to build that one. So I'll prolly be PM'n you Scooter. If thats ok.
