--- Quote from: GAS455 link=topic=2859.msg16585#msg16585 ---Putting all new suspension bushes and what not in the front end.
Cleaning off decades of grease, dirt oil etc was not a fun job.
I don't think it was ever done before!!!
repainting all the chassis compents in rust kill.
They are coming up nicely.
Just waiting on one more delivery...then I can get it back on its wheels...with the new brakes bolted on.

Do not mean to criticise your work because you are doing fine.
But....how come you did not replace those old coil springs with nice strong fresh ones?

They're only 53 years old, if you replaced them now, you'd void the warranty.

Cause I am waiting till I get the engine, trans and everything that is meant to be in there...then see where it sits and then work out how much I want/can drop it down.
It will get new shocks at the same time.
When I bought the car, it was in pieces....so I never saw the true ride height that it has.
