I am in the process of repairing the trailing arms and spindles. Also, doing some odds and ends while I have the rear ripped apart. Going to get new dual exhaust and FlowMaster 40 Series Mufflers.

It was damn cold out, let me tell you that. Anyways, everything was rusted together so it was a real bitch getting it out. The Acetyline Torch was a big help though. Also, installed the new power antenna to complete the stereo project from a couple of weeks ago. Removed the old dual exaust and stock mufflers to make way for new dual exhaust pipes and FlowMaster 40 Series Mufflers. More pics to come as I find more things to replace...

It sounded awesome, but it may get a little annoying after a little bit. Now if I only had a 454...
