I finally was able to pick at the rear suspension. Piece by piece, it came together.





New springs! Much better than the factory/hacked ones. :rolleyes: I had the new ones made at Spring Service in Regina.



New hardware was necessary for the new 18mm bushings and bolts.



3-inch lowering blocks were deemed necessary. They are Belltech #6202. They required some mild modification to fit.







Boom baby! It all came together successfully.





Now to load up the rear to settle those springs a bit... Next piece of the project will be the new aluminium fuel tank and finishing the interior. ]]> 2slo2drag http://www.306motorclub.com/forum/blog.php?b=89 http://www.306motorclub.com/forum/blog.php?b=88 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 17:55:28 GMT Image: http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/295755_10150833311965722_558905721_21106960_10029491_n.jpg Image: http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/321156_10150833313575722_558905721_21106992_1127847994_n.jpg Image:...

Also, my dearest grandmother reupholstered the factory seats.



Now, my biggest project as of yet has been the front suspension.



I took out the lower control arms to try and figure out a solution for new shock absorbers. After tons of measuring and remeasuring, I settled on a set of Monroe's designed for a 1980 Chrysler LeBaron. Several weeks later, I had all the measurements right to weld the adapters together for the control arms.











BOOM!





Now to finish the interior, and get the rear suspension figured out... ]]> 2slo2drag http://www.306motorclub.com/forum/blog.php?b=87 http://www.306motorclub.com/forum/blog.php?b=86 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 04:08:29 GMT A few things have been done since February. :emb: For one, the intake was completed. It looks darn good, and really opens up the engine bay. Image: http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af302/2slo2drag/1974%20Ford%20Courier/Camera001-5.jpg Image:...

Then I started to tear up the interior hardcore to work on the electrical bits and dash pad. The radio now works, and so do the fan switches.
