Thanks
Didn't mention someone broke the power mast off of mine to. Found a nice used non-power unit at the junk yard after finding out what a new power unit cost at the stealership. Wish I could have found an 88 like yours, being able to take the cover of in the summer would be awsome!

There is some builds where some chops look great, others not so much.
I say ditch the rear coils or rework the back design.. I went with leafs and am much happier than with the coils out back.
