New brakes this week, lowering spindles up front and new stiff springs. In the rear I added a set of lowering springs and Bilstien shocks as well as new double adjustable Edelbrock rear upper control arms. Cleaned up under the hood, finished the instalation of the carpet, alot more to go, but I was still out enjoying the drive every day as well.
