Well, mine is nothing nice, BUT it is a very solid '70 2WD with original paint, so I know what I'm dealing with. It is very straight besides the driver's fender and hood. Can you believe a guy pulled the original running 350 engine out of this to put in a old LWB '75 truck?? It is factory hugger orange, so that's cool. I bought a very nice top for it from uncle. Oddly, it is a 2WD and came with the 350 and SM465 4 speed, but I'll be swapping in an auto. I'm focused on trying to get my red '69 finished and my '67 C-30 going, and then I'm going to tear into this one. My wife is kinda excited about this one, because we can all ride in it, so that will help when it come times to start spending money on it!

Here's a few pics. The frontend looks funky because the a$$clown that pulled the engine out took the whole clip off and just set it back on there. She needs some love!

No burbs...yet!

It's taken me longer to get the rear centered than I thought it would. But I got it within a 1/4 in. A lot of jacking, unjacking. I set the Trackbar at ride height, which will be approximately 1in before entering notch.

Here are my alignment tools.

I used a cargo bar to push rear over a bit and hold it in place.

And of course I just had to throw a rim on.

Template overkill...

Next, Notch installs...Lots of rivet removal, and grinding involved.
