So far, I have most of the rear end together. I have to wait for some parts from CC. Plus, I need to replace a couple of bolts, non-posi to posi warning and 4.11 id tag. Also, the front suspension needs some correct bolts.

yeah, as soon as I have one.

I have been holding off on buying the motor and transmission since I have been moving around. Plus, I figured it was best to get all of the small and hard to find parts first. I am not going with the original motor nor transmission.

Plus, i know I have some touch work to do. I would like to get the inside of the frame sprayed with paint if I could. Just near the holes since you can see the inside of the frame. The frame and most of the parts were off of a california car so the rust is not that bad.

I do have one question...

Is the rear spring location correct for a 62? I have seen pictures (even Noland Admans restoration manual shows the rear spring going below the crossmember).
