one layer throughout the cabin but double up on the trouble areas (doors, trunk, wheel wells, and the sail panels in our cars) don't bother doing the outsides cause it wont stick long.

and jon, i really cant stress enough the importance of prepping the surface with alcohol. it sticks like garbage if you don't.

good stuff! I wanna see how the tire stance looks when you have the car out, I might copy your fronts. The 275's walk all over the place.

excellent, a front end rebuild was planned for the near future anyway. I was gonna use Moog and spohn (swaybar) as well as energy suspension poly bushings for the a-arms. I have a whole breakdown with part numbers and prices saved on my computer.

yup, don't skimp out on the tie rods and ball joints, especially on the older cars. i'm gonna go with the baer tie rods but the moogs are a nice lower priced alternatives.

See if global west makes del-a-lum bushings for those lower arms. You'll be happier, if not poorer. :)

I see that GW makes a nice set of leafs for the 72...as well as some other nice, and costly things.

Those leafs are basically race stuff. No need.
