Re: Badd's 4orty 6 Chevy aka Shorty It got up to around 44 so it was not to bad out . So I busted out some parts and got to work . New upper and lower control arm on . New 2" drop spindles on with new 3" drop springs . Also got the motor mount from the kit back on . As well as the upper spring pads . My bearings did come in today but it was after I had put the tools away . My front dust shield are junk . I have tried to find new without any luck . I guess I will check a few pick -a-parts . http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/o...psz8cqazaj.jpg http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/o...pssyzxocu0.jpg http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/o...pslpimorxc.jpg |

Re: Badd's 4orty 6 Chevy aka Shorty Small update, I got my new leaf springs in from Summit Racing . The one from The Suspension Source where the wrong ones . I cleaned up the new ones and got some primer and paint on them . I also replaced the shackle bushings in the frame . Then I worked on putting my front sway bar and new bushings on . My center caps and lug nuts also came in last week . Tomorrow I will work on the 2" frame C notch plates .
