Actually, come to think of it, the rears *did* require some work. I had
shocks installed with a coil over kit so we could adjust the chassis
height and then we ground down the inside of the fenders a bit (not
through the spot welds). The front tie rods and A-arms were massaged by
Boyd's Hot Rods. They have decades of experience slamming old chassis'
so they figured out the geometry without leaving any bump steer.
Cheers,
Geoffrey
