With the new suspension parts from Vansteel, and shocks from Koni, we now have a rolling chassis!! Don't those shocks look great? Remember how the originals looked?


We installed new brake lines, new fuel lines and cleaned up the brake proportioning valve. Then we installed the original front springs after painting them with black epoxy. Be very careful when installing the springs. If the jack or spring compressor (depending on your method) slips, you could lose something much worse than an eye.


We are heading down the home stretch now with the chassis. We'll be installing a new fiberglass rear spring (donated by Vansteel) next time and cleaning up the fuel tank.
