Let me know how im doing ?

I finally got my rear suspension painted and reassembled with Ecc's 4" drop kit.

I think it looks pretty good for a first time project.

Re: Let me know how im doing ?

Thank and thanks again. Its a 1968 c10 Lwb, not going to go all crazy on the rebuild but its going to be a frame up resto with a 2/4 drop. I have the 4 part finished. The cab still needs to be lifted off so i can clean and paint the rest of the frame.
