I have yet to fit my roll up windows.
Is there a secret or method to get the window track engaged with the regulator whilst juggling the glass into the door?
Oh, and you will have to remove the doors again to get the front guard fasteners into the "A" pillar

It is tough to tell, but it looks like your rear shackles are flipped - if they are, you may not have needed the blocks.

Looking at the earlier photos confirms, your shackles are flipped. Set them up like in Nissanman's photo and see what you think.

I kept telling my buddy that it looked very high in the rear after we put the body back on. Of course we thought "no interior, no top, no fuel tank, it will settle. I will ride the short bus out to the shop tomorrow and flip them over and see how she sits. That is why I love this forum, thanks for the input.
Might have to cut a coil off the comp springs to make her level..........Not.

It's not going to ride well with them flipped.

I discovered how easy it is to do an oil change with the engine
in my car. No crawling underneath either as the drain bolt faces forward near the radiator.

Sand blasted the heater box, pressure tested the heater core and checked for leaks. Rebuilt the heater control valve painted and reassembled.
