Wheels are looking good painted up like that.
I see you're really getting into stiffening it up, a lot of work but at least most things are available off the shelf - if you've the money...
Can't recall if you've done anything with the steering rack/box - I fitted a quick/high ratio rack to one of my cars a few years back - made a huge difference for a little extra steering load.

I've been racking my brains over the last couple of weeks about a company that used to specialise in "F" bodies (mostly series two) but darned if I can recall the name - something like Goldstand - well I think it starts with a "G" at least. They did heavy duty struts, hubs etc for cars with very sticky front ends as there was a problem of the suspension components flexing under high loads.
I haven't done anything with the rack yet as its already a 12:1 reccirculating ball system. When I go to a tubular k member I'll probably find a way to do a rack and pinion conversion for better feedback. The rc system has a very quick feel but is slightly vague feeling compared to a rack.

I bought a new intake to have powder coated. And I'll have the wheels done too when its all done. So they'll bead vlast all my work away.

Lots of stuff coming though. Car cruise onthe 26th of this month followed by a speedshop open house on the 2nd and a club dragstrip rental onth the 9th. Lots of work to do.
