I was finally able to get the front shockwaves in this week with the help of Danny (crazyfireman). Hope to start on the compressor system install this week and then to the rear air bar. Trying to plan out the placement of the comp system and be able to maximize space in the trunk. Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot of room back in the trunks of the first gen cars. Any ideas or pictures of your installs would be appreciated. Thanks.

That looks B/A man. How much travel is there? Would there be a need for a Spherical bearing on the sway bar end link? ART has such nice products.

Scott, a long drive would be nice. I can't wait to get it outof the garage, haven't driven it this year. We had our first cars and coffee this year yesterday and had a good turn out, about 25 cars. A couple more nice first gen cars in the area now. I saw the 68 that Frank (guy in your old neighborhood) bought. Nice car, he gave me a funny look when I told him he should tak it out to Holt. I would have fun running it, its an original 396/TH400 car. I'll give you a call this weekend.

Inverter, I talked to ART and asked about the new sway bar links and they said they wouldn't recommend it with the hotchkis bar I have. I guess it is more geared toward their new splined sway bar.

At least I checked my side for clearance after we got it together the first time. :razz:. I had all of the hard work done by the time you came over LOL. I figure as many times as I took it apart and put it back together in the past few days, I can do one in about 20 mins. Instructions, who needs instructions.
