Still making slow progress but not much worth showing :roll: 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.
