Project update...Well as hoped for my project was completed and I was back on the road last week. I drove the car to a highly referred frame and suspension shop here in the San Fernando Valley for my final 4 wheel alighnment and pinion angle set. The job took just under 1 1/2 hours and the mechanic said things were just slightly off but I can't tell the difference in the way the car drives. It's nice to know that everything is correct. The ride in the rear is noticably softer with a lot less bounce. I think the old assy must have been binding at some point. The new rear disc brakes work good and look awsome compared to my old drum brakes. Coilover mounts are in double shear top and bottom which greatly improves the strength and my confidence on the rough stuff. I do hear a little whinning noise from the Tru-Track periodically and on spirited launches the car goes straight where before it would pull to the left. I have absolutely no more chattering clutch. I noticed a crack in my trans cross member and had a new one made which should never bend or crack again, this may have been contributing to some of the chatter I experienced. Some new pictures in my gallery with some detailed views. On to the next project now.
