Note the GMC in the hood falling out. Every tab that holds it on was broke off. I sit for about an hour welding little tab maybe 1/8" wide to hold it in. She's in now!

Now for the fun stuff. With the dog house somewhat on it Earl seen how it would sit. It was really high before and the clip took it way down. Here it is with the stock Nova springs.

I was pretty happy when Earl said it was still too high. Smile  I helped him through it but he did all the work ripping the front end apart to take one coil off the springs.

Sad part is after putting it back together this is what it looked like. The top spring was tapered close together. It dropped in a whopping one (1) inch. lol

No more messing around. There is plenty of ground clearance so lets get down to chopping off grasshopper heads while he drives.

I thought I was done with the frame but Earl has changed his mind. It's going to be a little shorter than before. Details soon.
