Very nice, I like the colors. Is it me or does this kit look a bit like it is sagging in the rear? I have seen the same with other builds aswell.

Yes it sits a little low in the rear, I wasn’t able to fix it because I was building it Box Stock for our clubs monthly theme. 

And thanks for reminding about it because now I can go back and fix that issue.

I'm thinking it is a very easy fix. 4 bits of equal thinkness styrene between each end of the rear springs and the floorpan (maybe just 2mm is needed) and it is fixed. Another idea is to put something that looks heavy in the bed.

Yep maybe something like this in the bed.

Really nice job!  I didn't know such a kit existed.  My dad got a used '72, the first year of this body style.  When I was a kid and these came out, was excited about the wrap-around taillights.  I'm sort of surprised these are not popular for restoring.

Awesome build. Love everything about it, especially the color combo.

I look forward to seeing that Short-Wide getting done.
