Got the lower back seat frames done finally. New hog rings are copper colored.

I had to raise the back seat up a little then I was able to get the bottom seat in. Got the front buckets assembled and installed too. Now it's starting to look like a car! I did slide in the driver's seat and boy did it bring back some memories! And a big smile.

Awesome! And you will have a bigger smile yet when you take it out and drive it when it is finished - keep this last push going and it will be done before you know it! :thumbsup:
 
Dana is going to the shop Monday for front pinion seal and a checkup. I bought it used, so I don't want any surprises when I take it for it's first drive.
 
Went to Eddyville for the Mopar race yesterday. Entered 3 classes with the tow truck, got runner up in Mopar Street. Broke out by .0034! Some nice cars there.

I'm to old to lift a Dana 60 anymore, by myself, into a truck!

Got the Dana back and all good. Started cleaning it so I can locate spring perches.

I'm going to weld tomorrow. Called Cal Trac and they said 2-4° down. Mike recommended 3 down so I'm going to set it at 2.5° down. Picture is with 200 lbs in trunk to simulate full gas tank, spare, & jack in trunk. 22" ground to top of wheel opening.

Triple checking. Looks like drive shaft might be close in tunnel at back. But I'm going forward, I have a lower hole at the front leaf spring hanger if I need to raise the car a inch. Welding up perches and boxing them in. Should be ready to paint first thing in the a.m.
 
Welding in short lengths to avoid warping the axle & boxing perches.
Finally!
