Just back from the suspension shop today. Car looks great and in proportion now. I'm pleased to say the no hop bars are gone and we ended up replacing all the shocks, the drivers side rear was totally shot which would explain the spongyness in the rear, rear springs to lower the rear about 2" and put in new Moogs upper trailing arm bushes. It now drives the way it should and has that tough, nose slightly in the air, Chevelle stance. I should have in a few weeks, my new redline radials from Diamond Back Classics, thanks Dan, and the look will hopefully be complete.
Got stuck in a little drizzle on the way home so I didn't have a decent photo op as I was too busy trying to get it out of the weather, so will have some better shots to come.
