That's a bad ass pic!  Running in the 11s, it's got to be one of the quickest LTD II's ever, very nice.

I need to put some air in the shocks but want to sleeve the tubing so it doesn't fail by rubbing in the frame holes.

Looking good John.  Are you still considering cutting the front springs a bit?  It should help with teh handling and front end lift on the highway.

The springs are on the list. I have no more than 10lbs. of air in the shocks. Pumping them up in the morning. The roads are in such tough shape here, I am dreading cutting them down to be honest. Replacing them would be the best option as they would be even more stiff than they are now.

Here's my Q code GTS.... I'm the 1st owner here in Aus. Recently passed our Gov.inspection.
Its a 1 owner with purchase receipt, order sheet & Marti report.
It was stock except for an Edelbrock 600cfm carb. & 4v intake. I've replaced the 14" Mag. 500's with 15" Street Pro (centerline look alikes) & also the springs -shocks with custom coils & Koni red shocks.
Have been gathering parts & plan on more of an old school mild 70's build, following info from that old legend George Pence.

They’re pretty sweet mate…bet you wish you’d never gotten rid of those….had a VH SS group A when I was 20 sold it and bought a turbo Mazda…thought I was the bizzle…who’s the fool now…can’t keep them all I suppose….

Is that a real GT or replica?
