My spare sounds like yours- its never been used.

No I do not.
While cleaning the frame I found a few marking but left them alone. The cross member above the diff had several.

Now I plan to do the front end

I wish it were spring because I. Want to drive it. I acquired it in oct 09 and have driven it more than my 2008 z51 coupe. I wanted one of these since I saw one for the first time in 1978 and try to enjoy every minute of it
