I just completed my new rear spring install a few weeks ago, as well as new shocks front and rear.

This past weekend I installed a high torque starter to eliminate the heat soak. While I was at it I changed the oil and replaced the bushings on the front sway bar link.

Mine was pretty lengthy... heads, cam, intake, carb, suspension kit, valve covers, air cleaner, powder coating..all before CI. I just resealed my rear window and am waiting for the mail man to deliver the new rear trim ring for it! Tomorrow the car goes in for an alignment check. Later this month, I am changing half shaft ujoints.....
