After re-indexing the torsion bars (carrier ends are cut off, stud welded to end, pulls out easily with slide hammer), installing the Paragon cheap coilovers and those used Konis, the clone is 'about' 5 inches from the rocker panel welds. Car is all over the place on the highway, so no good test drive. Outside in the continuing rain here in the Midwest.

Awesome. Can't wait to see that in person!

Man, I miss Wisconsin sometimes. Not to mention rain.

Thanks Jeff, hope to have it painted soon. We've been back since April 5th, and maybe, we've had 6-8 days of nice weather. In that bunch, we had 14 inches of snow!

Thanks Dan, plenty left to go, but so far I'm happy with the results.
