Three years in the making, I finally was able to drive again and get a couple good pictures!
  And one of the Cleveland rebuild, before and after  |

Nice I love it. Looking really good. I really like that color with the blacked out hood
 Glad you got to take it on a cruise.

Thanks everyone!
Haha - I was happy with the rake when I added the leaf springs with the +2" lift. But after the engine rebuild and AC delete, there was some decent weight lost on the front. I'll likely get new front springs to match the new setup but also have it lowered a bit.

looks like it sits about level, i kinda like it the way it is, IMO there's something to say for some amount of suspension travel. what i notice in the 70-72's is the higher the rear goes up the curves of the fenders is lost, rear down and the swoopy lines of the fenders come out, JMO YMMV

Nice call-out on the fender lines! Focusing on that does change the perspective.

Ditto, it looks good now, but I'd like to see the rear up maybe an inch, and the front down a little too.
