See, that's the Respeed setup I want eventually. R&P steering, coil overs, good shocks and springs, new poly bushings all around, and new control arms.

You sir are rocking a WONDERFUL setup that I'd like to hopefully run myself someday. Keep up the good work, I bet it's going to drive like a dream.

Tim, I hope to be in the 79 sa. It will be there running or not, to show off the respeed setup.
Look for the silver sa with black hood and black mesh rims.
I will be towing it down due to lack of running it here. The car still needs tons of work and I really dont want to rush it.

Yes, that is a great setup and really Billy does deserve all the respect for it and keeping our old cars up to date.

Really like the red and blue colors next to the silver and black. Great color choice.
Man chad that car really is looking amazing. I remember when you first got it from the original owner and 74K miles on it. You need to take it by his house one day.

sorry I have not kept up on this.

Plan is to go 13BT soon now that the full suspension and brakes are done.
Then hope for paint.
