I have a '69 now and hope to get the QA1s when I change the rear spring.

I have the original front/rear shocks. Can they re-valve those? That would be cool if they could. I'd send all four.

I finished installing the transverse kit and also finished painting some more parts for the front suspension today. Overall, the install was not bad at all and everything went pretty well. I torqued everything down, per VBP's instructions, minus the upper control arms since I haven't installed some parts of the suspension. I will post some pics of the finished install tomorrow, the camera's battery is dead, and will try to finish the front end sometimes next week. I'm hoping to move onto the rear suspension late next week.

Well I finally got to do a bit more work on the Vette and the front suspension is almost completely together.
