I have not made much progress lately but I'm back on her. I have all new 4 wheel disc brakes just in with stainless lines. Here are my new springs. Name:  PC210445_zpsd267177f.jpg

Here is the lower shock bracket. The driver’s side was bent and had a little crack in it. What ever they hit it was hard enough to break the old springs
and bent and crack this piece as well as bent the lower control arm, all fixed.

Progress is looking good Todd. Are those parts painted or powder-coated?

BTW, I've been in the same slump. My next step is one of the most expensive steps, floorpan replacement, I'm filling the piggy bank!
