sorry been very busy. Got all of old suspension removed and shock towers removed frame cleaned and new cross member welded in.Temporarily fit all brake and steering components and set engine and trans in.I am using a 351 w and c-4 mild build with roller cam.I am very happy with the kit that i purchased everything very good quality and fits very nice.Easy to follow instructions for exact placement of crossmember.Had to take time off project to get caught up with other things,going to get back on it soon.Need to connect rack to steering column and fit brake lines and p/s hoses,then time to take all back apart clean and paint and finish engine compartment.Stance of vehicle very nice.I will let suspension settle when complete,may have to cut springs a bit about 2'' high than i want now,but i still have accesories to instal.Over all,very happy with the way its going.Plan on adding pics when time allows.
