Ordered some new front recommended springs and still not quite happy, pulled them back out and cut one coil as many racers have done and that did the trick. Had another problem getting the adjustable front shocks in, took about 4 hours of modifying to their specs to get them to fit. Seems like that is how a lot of these 10 min jobs have been going

Yea we have been picking away at it. Set you a couple of pic's, thought guys were getting tired of it. Got the headers coated and they look great. wiring has been a project of it's own and my son is great at it. Got the brakes on and as soon as the wiring is in place, we'll start getting the sheet metal back on. Instead of pushing hard on the truck, we got the Regal out and got it ready for racing for a back-up.

Wiring finished? Hope you saw some of the spaghetti in my Camaro thread so that you know I totally sympathize.

Got asked if we every completed the the Sonoma - we did. Just kinda let it go since it's not a G and racing interest is low.

Looks great! Thanks for the update. Love seeing it pulling the left front off the ground. I know you went with an SBC. What is your HP estimate?
