Hi Frank, welcome !
So sorry about loss of your wife, but happy you are getting back your Spirit For Life, is what I call it anyway. I've also gone through tough times and I'm trying too.
Let's saub together. lol
I have a 2000 year Lonestar, so sure it's the same. I built a 428FE, and rebuilt it in 2004, but ended up selling it to pay hospital bills. Now that I'm feeling better, the 428 is hard to find and it's now very expensive, so I'm thinking of building a 600 (+) 385/460cid series (to 514, 527, 445cu) as it's a lot,....cheaper & more power for the money.
I did not like my Aldan coilovers, so I bought QA-1 and really like them. What have you done with the chassis/suspension setup ?
If you need and advise or opinions, let me and all other Lonestar guys will help.
Kevin
