Longroof build,69 Impala

[soltz]

The ride's looking great. Nice work.
So what's the actuator going to do?

We'll have to wait and see watched it about 20 times and nothing came to mind[S

fbp, i really like your sheet metal work and i know about bag mounts, i had redo all four of mine.

Ok....got the lower shock mounts relocated and modified the
steering arms

 

[forbigpicture]

Got the wheel bearings packed and rotors /calipers installed

 

[forbigpicture]

Decided to throw the wheels on and check clearances

 

[forbigpicture]

I kinda' knew things were going just a little to good..........



DANG!!!!!!!! Tires rub the upper part of the shock so you know what
that means................

Thanks for checking in............

 

[Old Iron]

Roll the top of the shock mount inwards and maybe notch the frame a little???

 

[soltz]

OK forbigpicture question[S

How did you get the tire that high in the wheel well and still have that much ground clearance [S

What size tires and wheels are you running [S

Your doing very nice work by the way [cl

Nothing exciting to report, been busy with a bunch of other projects...
life you know..... but...... I did get the rear gate open and the rear
window working [cl... has not been open or used since 1973 so I was
excited to see it was in pretty decent shape .....
hope to get back on it before to long............thanks for putting up with me
