It’s coming along beautifully RC. I looked at what you started with and it’s incredible what you have done with it. I love that thing.
Great video,the car looks fantastic! A man of your means can afford to hire a sound engineer for your future videos!

Or at least an external mic with a fuzzy wind cover.
Really clean installation and I think you nailed the stance! 1 of 1.
The back end is a little high for my liking. I still have to put in the seats and a full tank of gas, but that's still only a couple hundred pounds. I'm hoping that the leaf springs will settle in once I start driving it.

How well are the roads maintained in your area?

I might have tried that too if it had been around in 2015 when I built mine. I have the factory A/C box which allows no room for anything other than the factory pedal. However, I like the factory pedal with the bell crank assembly under the hood. That pedal is butt ugly IMO but you gotta do what you gotta do.
What springs did you use? I used SS springs on my dart and they settled about 1/2 inch, and ESPO 1 inch over on my Barracuda and they also settled 1/2 inch. Took about a year.
Massachusetts roads suck.

What about NH?
Highways are good, but many secondary roads have frost heaves. Still full of salt.
Just finished this up.

One question...is the battery secured in the box so it doesn't move?
I worked on a Super Comp team and the battery came loose and the hot terminal shorted against the box causing all kinds of issues.
There is a clamp to secure the battery so it doesn't move.
UP! The most abused word in the English language............LOL
