    May take another year to get the Wahoo out of Yahoo.
    Cannot wait to see it.

    Making good progress Rob! Looking forward to seeing you out there....not as much as seeing me out there though.
    BlueFirePony is in Ohio now - I'll hopefully start looking into car #2 seriously this summer. Really liking the idea of a '68/69 Mustang or Camaro. My wife caught me looking at Mandy this weekend and she knew what I was thinking... :twisted:
    Think I might have lost driving privileges :/

    Looks good, but if you drive it as hard as I do you may have an issue with the longer upper control arm reinforcement bolt. I put it in the same as you with the nut on the bottom but the bolt end that stuck out hit the control arm and eventually sheared the bolt. I reversed the new bolt and it looks to have a lot more clearance.

    Good catch. I did find that one was very close and added washers on top, but I think I will follow your advice and reverse the orientation.
