quick snapshot of the car with 225/70/15 MT's. Front end sits a little high with the new moog coil springs. I had the new springs tested, which were only 30 lbs heavier than the 40 year old original springs. If it does not settle down after a while, I may go with the lighter option that moog offers.

The car is factory with no AC and manual steering, so a little lighter than a fully optioned car. Plus whatever weight I saved with the aluminum intake. I have a new set of air springs/bags to raise the rear up a bit, but not installed yet.

But, all new suspension, bushings, etc, and the car cruises down the road very nice!

Your car looks great!

Thanks. Wife is actually happy with it now. She was a little miffed that I sold our nice 66 4spd and ended up going this route for a new project. I like the uniqueness of the 73, and is better for what I want to use it for... driving and hitting the drag strip!

The 66 was fun, but more of a show car, and just not as nice on the highway.

Very nice. And stock looking as well. Not sure about air shocks. Some guys get a nasty wheel hop from them. I guess a guy needs to play with tire pressure at the track. On the road suspension feels a little stiff.

Yeah, I don't care for air shocks but these work really well...
