if you did most of this work yourself, suspension will be a breeze. There are some videos showing how to remove the front and most of the rear suspension, have a look at them.

Nice work and thanks for sharing the pictures. I agree, this forum is a great resource for those that are willing to spend some time reading. Your work is inspirational and staying with it for 15 years is commendable. I am just one year into my 71 restoration and sometimes I feel quite overwhelmed. All I can do is eat the elephant one bite at a time. But it is good to see someone who comes out the other side with a sweet ride. Cheers.

Congrats on the 15 year badge, both of them!
If I can ask, what color is the exterior now? The lighting sort of makes it black, and then others look brownish???
Have fun, guessin the kids are teens? Maybe a "prom car" for them?

The exterior is a black cherry color. The car was painted before I purchased it so I don't have details on the exact color. I don't mind the color but when I finally get around to having it repainted I am going with black.

YOu referenced this as what you called a "Resto Mod". Perhaps better termed "Modern Resto".....? Keeping the factory body, interior etc., all with the modern updates, for reliability and comfort.
Congrats again, a very accomplishing feeling!
