I agree...take it down off the stands and take it to a shop with a frame rack....they can measure it and maybe tweak the body a little if needed. Good fast way to get it right before you start.

I found my 4' level and front to back side to side is level however diagonal it wasn't. I am thinking of getting a laser level to check the floor and shim the jacks as needed. The wife and I did decide that if the floor leveling does not help it will go to a frame shop to make sure it is square.


As far as plans, XV chassis stiffening, hotchkis UCA's and possible their sway bar kit as well. Firmfeel stage 2 box with the longer idler and pitman arms. We just picked up a slap stick shifter for it, and since it is staying auto, I will try my hand at fiberglass and build a center console with for it. I want to improve the handling but maintain a lot the stock style suspension. Engine wise we are keeping the 451 and putting Eddy heads on it as well as a megasquirt EFI.

Nothing special but just enough for what we want.

Don't bother with the stage 2 Firm Feel box it still has to much power assist, go with the stage 3.

Thanks for the input. Well I pulled some measurements from the factory points and the car is square within 1/4 of itself. Went looking for a laser level and didnt find one that would do what I needed. I did recheck the door gaps and looking it over, the gaps that really changed match up with the driver rear sagging. So I am going with an uneven floor. I wont do any major welding/repair until the jacks are level. I would post pix but nothing major just pulling the rear valence off, and dropping the tank. So far everything that came off was on the list to get replaced.
