I didn't really mind it (still have the passenger side to do though) a lot of guys say they don't like doing it. I'd be happy to do theirs though. I'm in the Denver area if anyone's interested haha

I feel the same way. If I had a big parts washer it would be my favorite job so far. This 69 is a driver, my 72 resto got extra attention. I had to tear down 3 axles to make one good one.
That looks awesome! Do you have a build thread on your resto?
PS I'm sure you noticed the calipers are upside down/on the wrong side....

Calipers were corrected. Link to my build thread is in my signature.

your spring is on wrong!
That was corrected as well. Thanks for the heads up.

City Racer LED headlights installed, very nice!
Replaced all 5 steering rod ends - not a bad job, good results, need to check alignment.

You run the risk of your springs interfering with it on compression. Might need longer bump stops.
I'd wrapped up my OME install a few weeks back, but I've been cleaning up my wheels, painting them, and got some new shoes put on. Hacked off the last 2 feet of my exhaust as well, as the way it was bent didn't clear the gap between the anti-inversion shackle and the tire. But it's all better now! I wish the post from @blossett had popped up a couple weeks sooner, as I thought about doing my wagon wheels in grey, but couldn't find a good picture. Oh well, they're white for now!
How are you running the long jump seats with the roll bar? PO did the same thing on my 1970 and I am feeling like I need to pick one or the other.I'd wrapped up my OME install a few weeks back, but I've been cleaning up my wheels, painting them, and got some new shoes put on.

I can take some pictures for you later if you'd like. Anything in particular you'd like shots of? The roll bar is definitely not OE, but I feel like the way the jump seats are mounted are. I don't know how the original owner got everything to fit, but it works well and the hardtop fits nicely as well.
Yes please, if you could snap a few pictures that would be helpful.
