Re: Neil's FB Station Wagon
Thanks for the offer Brett but I have a pair of old Taylors panels that have the sides as well as the top sections.
And yes it is hard to get the top line lined up properly that's why I didn't show the photo of the passenger side I tacked in, got it slightly out so am going to have to go back and ...

Re: Front springs, LS powered, HR front end, HZ stubs.
Hi Bushy
I also have not had much faith in King Springs, a friend had bought a set and wanted me to fit them they were supposed to be standard height but when I sat them beside a 2" drop set I had they were the same height.
I have V6's in my cars and I've used standard HR springs with 2" drop ...
