Looks very nice! I've been contemplating a triangulated 4 link for my 40, but not sure I'll do it now or not.

Doing the 4 link really isn't that difficult, particularly since you have a rear in the car now. You would only have to set the car at ride height, which you already know since ur driving the car now, temporarily tack weld the rear in place with some angle steel, like you see in my pics, and set the bars in place and weld the brackets in. You could use either air ride or coil overs and ur done.

That 40 sedan has always been one of my faves. Some of the nicest lines of any car ever produced.

After mocking up the control arms and power rack, I installed the 1000 series ShockWaves to check for fit.

I later discovered, after installing air fittings on the ShockWaves, that I had to gut away part of the cup under the spring hat to clear the air fitting. Sure glad I mocked up everything!

Always helps to have your shop helper there too!!
