looks good

From this angel it looks like the weight on the rear end is really low but it's higher than the lowest part of the rear end cover. And the e-brake cables look like there touching the tail pipes but there's about 2 1/2" of room took 5 hours to do the switch. (got to use a rack and air tools) The E-brake cables and inside handle out of the 95 SN-95 worked out great. I was doing a post on how to do this conversion quick and easy on a budget but I got slammed hard for not spending thousands on a kit. It was implied my work would look like crap because of used parts and stuff from Autozone. But I'll tell you what I got under $600 in everything--everything rear end and control arms and all. For the price I think it looks ok for a budget project.
And at 35, 50 and 65 the fronts lock up before the rears and it skids down the road straight. Rear end is used with new bearings 3:55 posi. This fox is really close to being V-8 ready

Looks good! Anytime you can do something on a tight budget that gets good results works for me! I've always been on a very tight budget so I know how it is. I've even used the barter system to get parts/work done on my Bird.

Very cool, looks great oldfox. I hope to do something similar soon. Need to go to 5-lug before the winter, my snow tires are on my old 2003 wheels.

You realy shouldnt need that weight once you do the control arms which you already did and are ya going alum. d/s? Looks real good though.
