The green spring on the bottom of your rear brake shoes are for use with self adjusting brakes. If your not installing self adjusting brakes you`ll need a totally different spring. Check your factory service manual, there are some pretty good pics of the correct springs for self adjusting and non self adjusting.

Thanks for the responses.  I am using the self adjusting brakes for the rear, so I think that spring is correct.  However, I am not an expert and wanted to post this pic so if there were any problems others could point them out to me.

Are your upper door panels new aftermarket ones or restored originals?  If there aftermarket did you have any issues of the door hitting the rear pads when the door is closed?
Car looks great btw

My upper door pads are from PG and they don't hit on the doors.  I will double check and let you know if they do.  I haven't noticed it yet though.

I spoke with my engine builder today and he got the correct head gasket today and was finishing assembly.  I am waiting on a call tomorrow to see if we can do the engine dyno Friday or Saturday and bring her home.  I hope everything works to bring it home this weekend.
