You're wlecome Gringo

No pics but a little more progress. I replaced all the rear wheel studs with longer ones. Ended up going with NAPA 641-3112. They require the holes to be drilled out just a little bit to 9/16" because of a slightly larger knurl.

I also painted my calipers and drums with black POR-15 and put the rear 5/16" spacers on. When I convert to rear discs I'll go to a 1/4" spacer because the rotors are about 1/16" thicker than the drums at the hub/studs.

Won't be doing much on this over the T-Day weekend, but my next project will be the tubs which includes the 68 front clip

If we have a sunny day over the next few days I might find time to take some shots for the the Nov TOTM contest
