Brett, I realize you've been busy with other projects, but I am hope to see this thread continue. I'm curious what springs you used and if/how you were able to get enough bump travel out of the shocks. I'd also like to see what modifications you made to the UCAs.

Clint, we cut a full coil off of my Hotchkis springs and used them. For the time being we spaced the shock off of the LCA using 1" spacers; my plan is to eventually run coilovers.
I'll let Brett chime in with what exactly he did to the upper arms.

this brings back the old days...looks good brett. did you have to go up into the floor much? Its hard to convince an owner that you have to cut up the floor to get the springs right. I think theres more room in Nova's than 69 Camaro's.
I like to shave off a little poly from the rear so you get more bite on the sleeve.
BTW we're gonna need a few sets of them wheel wells. 68 and 69 available right?MrQuick ΜΟΛ'ΩΝ ΛΑΒ'Ε
