I re-bled the brakes after installing the powdercoated calipers last weekend, they were still a bit soft. While I had her high on jack stands, I fixed the bulging fender where some dummy placed the jack in the wrong spot. Looks perfect now! (at least in the lower fender.)

Re-installed my rebuilt T56. Fixing my tie rods this weekend.

Need an adjustable panhard bar to fix the rear end lean from the lowering springs the previous owner put on, but I need to pace myself or I'll run out of money before I know it...

Anybody want to just give me one? lol
