Here are some pictures of where I'm currently at with my 64 F-85 pro-touring build. It has a complete front and rear Hotchkis suspension, springs, their tuned Bilstein shocks in the front, Hotchkis steering components.You won't see many 425 F-85's like this ( if any) running around when this is done!:)

Cool man.i would ditch the poly bushings in the diff ears and put rubber ones,the poly ones cause bind in these converging four links.box that frame while you have the body off,i never took the body off my frame to do it and now have to lay on my back welding in stripes of 1/8 plate.looking good though!phil
