    That dashboard and steering wheel look absolutely amazing.

    Currently working on installing the brake rod reaction bushings and the front sway bar. I replaced the factory unit with a much bigger 1 1/8 bar.

    As some of you may also know I found the passenger side window shattered today. No idea on how or why it happened.

    Replacement will be ordered soon.

    Still have the intake gasket to replace as well as the front end alignment to have done.

    Then its off to the upholstery shop to have the window rubbers replaced as well as the new glass installed.

    Transmission pan is still leaking but I believe the leak is coming from above the pan.

    IF you replaced the strut rod bushings hopefully you used the poly bushings available. Then you could modify them for a more positive caster adjustment & set your alignment specs to more modern settings than going with stock settings.
    Hopefully you are paying attention while your driving with that rear bar hanging below the rear diff. I would HATE to think IF something was proud of the road & it caught that rear bar at ANY speed.

    Thank you, more to come.

    Thanks for the tip.

    As far as the rear bar hanging I'm not worried at all.

    My 2020 F250 work truck has a similar bar that hangs lower and I've never snagged it on anything out in the lease roads. And we drive through some effed up stuff too.

    Just picked her up!

    Roads are too slick so I just took her straight home. Steering wheel was straight though so im happy. Tech said everything looked good too.

    Just waiting on my replacement glass from fedex and its off to the upholstery shop to get the window and trim replaced.

    Dropped off the car at a upholstery shop to get the window seals, door glass replaced. Forgot to snap a pick. Owner said he should have it done in a few days. Can't wait to get her back. She handled like a dream on the highway. Next will probably be a stereo since I plan to put some mileage on it.
