Happy is good.

I got my new C5 spindles and brakes put on this evening along with the control arms I cleaned up and replaced all the bushings and cut one coil off the springs.

Here's what I started with

Looks much better Justin!

I changed my hood hinges this weekend. As most are aware, the factory hinges leave....much to be desired. They work but even new, just don't provide the stability when closing that I would like.

Last week I ordered a set of gray billet hinges form Ring Brothers and if I ignore the cost, I am very happy! I didn't want polished or annodized black so these gray (really more silver than gray) hinges were exactly what I wanted!

These hinges do not flex so when closing the hood closes squarely every time. When opening, I can pull the hood release and the popping action alone is nearly enough to raise the hood all by itself. I can use a single finger and guide the hood the rest of the way up.

If anyone needs a set of aftermarket hinges in pretty good condition, PM me.

Those hinges look great fleming.
Where and how much...if i may ask.

There are a number of vendors that make these. Mine came from Ring Brothers as seen here - http://ringbrothers.com/1970-1972-ch...frame-547.html

Price depends on the vendor and options selected, starting at sacrificing your first born child and goes up to a lifetime of indentured servitude so take your pick.

I love those hinges also. But, my first born child is 29, not sure if they would take her. lol

took off the old leather from the rear seats and getting it ready to be blasted since the lower frame has a lot of rust on it :)

I had planned to take our vert out cruisin today but had a severe sinus headache so I just let it sit.

Mine just been sitting in the garage, worked all weekend. John hope you feel better.

Did y'all make it to the Marshall Tucker concert last Sat night? Great event, perfect weather but crowded!!
