Bound For Glory, Part II....starring Charlie Sheen as Tony F

Chevy High Performance ran this article last October. Oddly enough, it descibes the install of the PMT suspension kit that I ordered...in a 350 powered '65 Chevelle, no less.

Two minor differences: 1)The red powder coating is an option. I stuck with Black....b/c Henry Ford said so. 2) I cheaped out and went with non-adjustable, fully boxed upper control arms. The kit in the article used the Adjustable Uppers. I don't think I'm making enough TQ down low to merit the extra $$$.

But other than these two differences, that's the rear suspension that's going in. I borrowed TireSmoker's truck (which I've dubbed Big White) this morning and dropped the rear-end off. Jim took one look at my orignal upper control arm bushings and quipped "It's no wonder you couldn't hook up. These are shot."

So, I'm already looking forward to getting the upgraded rear in the car. Getty up!
