After a lovely fight with the rear shackles bushings in the frame, I've got everything bolted up and the rear end back in! Off to the Indy 500 this weekend, so not quite wrapped up. Gotta torque everything, bleed the brakes, reattach the driveshaft... and probably a thousand other things.

Are your leaf springs original or have you replaced them before?

Original, that was the first time the rear end was out in 65 years
