Collecting parts, UMI Suspension had a sale last week. I bought: tubular rear control arms, rear lower control arm relocation brackets (corrects pinion angle on lowered cars), rear shock tower brace, front frame/steering box brace.
I still need to purchase shocks, sway bars, and a frame boxing kit. Going with Bilstien shocks, not sure on sway bars... IIRC, 2nd gen Trans Ams have a nice front sway bar that is an upgrade. Going to purchase an OEM style 1" rear bar. The boxing kit, I could do my own. But, in the sake of saving time and putting efforts elsewhere - going to buy something pre made.

My dad hurt his back last week, he's in a lot of pain. The doctor told him it is time he quits working in the garage. So, pretty much leaves me to finish these cars by myself. (6 of them, plus the usual stuff) I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Today I went over and started welding up the under side of the floor pans on his 72 Chevelle. I am hoping to get it mostly wrapped up tomorrow. But, it will definitely have to come off of the frame to fix everything 100%.

I pulled the fuel tank out of my 72 Saturday, was never really happy with it. Ordered a stainless one from Ausleys. I think it is the only way to go with all the humidity here in FL. I also installed new rear coil springs, the invoice was still on the box - purchased 8/17/14
 Hopefully I'll have this turd running again in a week or two. It has not run in 5+ years.

Got my tank in about a week ago, no regrets. Those stainless fuel tanks are really nice.

I picked up a new header panel for the 68 from Ausley's at the Daytona show this past Saturday.

I checked the battery maintainer on mine. Battery is all good. That's it, it's covered up and snowing right now.

Got the hood fitting right and the gaps good. Put some glazing putty on 5 little spots. Two are from the hood hinge debacle.
