The front end looks very nice. Last time I was at the shop Kevin was in & out of the booth painting your parts.
Don't buy the front sway bar end links - I have a set for you if you want them. I bought them from HBC, but they are correct for 69, not 68 like mine, so I had my originals re-plated. It's just not worth the return shipping to send them back.

OK, Thanks! I will ask Mike if I need them and if I do, I'll buy them off you.


The 69 has new urethane bushings. I thought that urethane gives you a harsher ride, but they last much longer than rubber.

Any updates? I haven't been over to the shop in a while since my car has been taken apart again & the guys are in full body work mode.

I checked in about a week ago and they were putting parts like the power steering pump back on the frame. Also, John was polishing the headers. They had been turned yellow by a previous shop that decided to break-in the engine with new stainless headers. Not much has changed on the body, but Mike said they should be getting me a paint sample to approve in a few days.
