Control arms are cleaning up nicely but I still have more work to do.
Went with the Aldan American semi coilovers for the front. 550# springs and likely a bit beefier sway bar to tighten up the front even more.
Finally found a passenger side alternator bracket on eBay I THINK i can get to clear the control arms. Initial mock fitting happened after the control arms were already removed but I may have to clearance the slightest amount off the bottom on of the bracket to clear.
Got the Killmat laid down....took about 6 hours not counting any interior removal and prep. Adding a second layer of Thermotec Supressor mat too on all the main areas. The Killmat stuff is nice for the price and geared towards sound reduction. This Thermotec stuff is much more robust and aimed at heat insulation.
Also, checked out the aluminum body mounts and determined they are good enough for the girls I date so thankfully not touching those.

Sorry about you Dad. Lost mine when he was 60. How I got my 68. Lots of work. Lots if life in there too. Looks good, keep it up and stay focused on your goal!
Got into the differential and thanks to the incredibly detailed information on here I'm blueprinting the diff; first time in a differential. The rest of the car is going on pause while I rebuild this.

Much of the rear suspension has to be unbolted and likely the exhaust dropped. Not the end of the world but some of the parts can be a bear depending on rust. Do some searching so you know what you’re getting into. That crossmember can really be stuck in place.

I'd like to pull mine out to clean and reseal it.
Thank you! Been a while since I undertook a similar project with a ThirdGen Camaro back in early to mid 2000’s. More responsibilities and less free time this go around. But I sure am enjoying all of it and appreciate the kind feedback.
