Installed some spitfire spring struts chopped the rear fender but have not finished it yet, still need to weld up some holes, mount it and paint. I also have not installed my side mount plate and tail light. Did the mreed air filter Let me know what you think, thanks!
Looks real good, nice clean work. Great little hotrod. Looks like your top shock mount bolt is a buttonhead? I put stainless buttonhead on bottom shock mount, looks cleaner than the hexhead, and not rusty like the old ones.
Those spring struts are nice, but I think 10.5" might be a bit too short for my 1991, I think I have 13.5" as I recall.
