Had a good weekend getting stuff done!
Wheels are here and look great, front coils are welded up, painted, and installed. Rear springs and shocks are out and new springs are in for test fit.
Mocked up wheel spacers sizing as best as I could..... I'll be running a 16"x9" all around and I'm not sure if I need to add enough spacers to clear the coil body - or the lower spring collar. (I don't know how much springs will compress to set collar height yet). So still trying to figure that out....

Also got this thing out. Lots of cleaning and work to do!!!
Looks pretty clean to me
That will make the job easier. -
There is a guy on r3v who refinishes subframes, I think there is a core charge(?), but it gets a ton of adjustable bits added and also gets reinforced I think. (Don't quote me) Don't know what your timeframe is on the car but it's always an option.

Previous owner brought the car to Wisconsin from Alabama... I'm having a really hard time finding anything I'd consider "rust" on this car.
First "Southern Car" I've ever owned.... Still amazed every time I go in garage and turn a wrench how good of condition it's in!
