First off..........I wanted to add the second upper control arm on the rear axle assy....So.....I bought the second arm from Ridetech.......I thought there would have been a frame bracket included with the second Bar........So...I had the arm but nothing to mount it to......I copied the original and made my own....



Got it and the second arm installed tonight.....another thing crossed off the list....






I also had to put some additional clearance in for the Coilover shocks.........Buzzed it right out....



Got 1 side roughed in.......

Got the front suspension almost finished today.....Seems the people at CPP didn't notice the stickers on the Wilwood Calipers that said the brake line inlet were tapped 7/16-20 for a Banjo type fitting.....they sent tapered pipe fittings.......also.....I finally found something that is way beyond my skill level and capabilities.......Trying to get those Chinese front spindle dust caps to go on....I destroyed them trying to get them in..........Gonna dig thru the parts and find the old ones........not the first time i've had those issues.....LOL........Here are some pic's














&quot;And&quot;..........Here's what the Nova looked like when I pulled it back in the Garage.....Probably the first time it ever had Snow on it......
