Still making slow progress but not much worth showing

I've made new 2" longer front mounts for the superstock springs that also inboard them 1", the rear hanger is also inboarded the same amount. This allows a B body axle case ( just under 2" narrower than an E body) to bolt straight in. This should allow enough space for a 10X15 rim with 3 3/4" backspace to fit. I'll be using period wheels and that is the usual backspace they come with, hence the mod.
