Beautiful work Lincolnfxr. Is that intake duct custom made or something I could buy?

Wowee! I LOVE that planview overhead shot of your car. Congratulations.

I used shock absorber bushings to replace mine as I remember. It worked well.

I would avoid making the shackles any shorter than factory. I believe shortening them can cause some ride travel geometry problems. Great job on the front!

I can't see the picture but I can imagine it. Congrats! :cool:

Oh my goodness I love the look of that car! Painted steel wheels with hub caps and white letter tires- awesomeness.
