Thanks Paul. It's definitely a journey and not a race. I tend to get distracted with other projects, but it's always satisfying to come back to the vette and cross another item off the to-do list.

Oh my. You jumped in the DEEP end! Lol. I'd love to do that someday myself, but I don't know if I'd ever get it finished.

I got the driver's lower A arm finished, but not without some hiccups. Anybody else ever install the bushing cups first, then remember that the rod piece has to be inserted before the cups?

Got the driver's side done. Working on the passenger side parts. Still cleaning the A arms so I can paint them.

New Bilstein HD shocks, new springs, new bushings. Looking forward to driving it and seeing how the feel has changed.
