    its a euro/jdm type show focused on older stuff, pretty much everything but american muscle is welcome.


    we should meet up around 9-9:30 so we can sniff yota butts then roll in to the show together and hopefully park together

    I think I'm the only one coming from the north end so how about we meet at the albertsons at 228th? Not much rolling together obviously but it's a place to gather before. Ill talk to a few people and make sure they can come. Miagy671 will prob be down, he prob has friends. 77yoter might. Ill talk to Curtisz. Most the rest are gathering here. Just wanna send a few invites to the little group we formed at the last couple shows.

    I'll try my best to make it. Ordered tires yesterday for the truck so hopefully they'll be here by Saturday. Got my lowering blocks on today buy ran into some issues, the u bolts are too short. They bolted up but only got threads about 3/4th the way through the u bolt. I may have to send them back or take out a leaf, which involved drilling a hold in the center of the bottom plate. Also didn't have time to do the front coil swap today and not sure if I will this week, but we'll see. I would love to show though whether I have my '72 ready or not.

    Too short u bolts. Should I pull a leaf? That still wont give it much room though. Plus washers are supposed to go in between the plate and the bolts. Do I need to send them back?

    Holy leaf pack batman. Pull like 3 of those out. Should fit then. Small drop block will be fine with the full leaf and an overload.

    Which ones should I pulled? williyumz in my build thread explained it but I'm not sure which three to do.

    I still want the drop I have and if I go down another like inch or inch and a half i guess that's okay but I don't want to go down too much more.

    I would use the longest one with the eyes, and the larger of the two overloads. You can keep one of the medium sized ones too for extra spring rate. And I may or may not have my 78 for next weeks show. See the "lost my truck..." post. I would also like to nominate myself for dip**** of the year. :/
