No there were pretty guarded with there processes. I would have only been in their way.

Yes, that was my thoughts as well.

The spring perches look good - are you boxing those in by chance? I had a set just like that on a '69 Camaro with a 525hp 408 and a Richmond 5 speed and they collapsed during a very sporty burnout - I guess the tires were stickier that day! The rear end rolled as the perches collapsed and the driveshaft twisted off after it gouged a hole in the floor. Bad day.

Maybe overkill but every time I see a set of those it brings back expensive memories!
Yes it was a cool road trip to take a day off of work for. No the peaches are not boxed but they are welded on all sides. My power will be quiet modest compared to what you had. The should hold up fine but I appreciate the heads up.
