    Well I cut the coils on the '77 this weekend. Turned out to be
    quite the project. Randy(rando76) and Steve(PGARDS) came over
    and helped out. Thanks alot guys!!(y)
    We cut a full coil and after reading all the posts I was worried
    that might have been overkill, but I had so much trouble getting the coils in and out I decided I was only doing it once. I think it turned out pretty good. Sorry I didn't take any good before pics or measurments to compare.

    Thanks for the compliments. Like I said I am very happy with how it turned out.

    I didn't do anything in the rear. Just cut the front coils.
