Scott,
Nine years down and my mild steel exhaust is still going strong and sounding
great. I think you did the smart thing for now.

Well, I just placed the order for the Exhaust, and what'd I choose? I went
with a stock mild steel muffler. I figured I could run this for a few years,
and decide what I really want, and if it lasts, then great!

With the money I saved, I put some of it into some redlines and wheeltrim.
Not wanting to kill my investment in the redlines, would mean an alignment,
but also shocks and springs...

Do have I have the beginnings of shipwrights disease?

If I put new shocks and springs, what else should I do while i'm there?
Bushings? Anything? 

Here's what I'm thinking regarding the suspension:

. New TRF upgraded springs
. New Front Shocks (leaning towards the adjustable Koni's, but stock is
cheaper...alot cheaper) . Rebuilt rear shocks from Apple Hydrolics (upgraded
version)

I'm afraid if I head too far down the path, I might not turn back! It's not
time for a full resto! I need to drive! Help! :-)
