That may work!!! My only concern is if the compressor tool is long enough. Also, is the upper shock mount strong enough to handle that load? I noticed both the upper and lower spring mounts have locating wells for the end of the spring. Which is more important to have lined up?? Upper of lower...

Ok, Who has a trick for installing front springs on a bare frame???? I have a center bolt spring compressor and it seems like I will have to reduce the spring from 17'' down to 10'' to get it in and bolt in the spindle. I have done this with the car assembled and used the weight of the car to...

I just got the repair section in yesterday. Looks like an exact match to the bottom section of the support. Should be no problem welding it in...

64mike, I ordered mine from LI Corvette. I see Chicago Corvette has them too. They are $90 and what I can figure, it is a replacement for the lower section that it prone to rust. I guess I will see when it comes in.. Kurt

I have pulled my 67 coupe body and can not see any VIN stamp on the rear left kickup?? I have a 65 frame that has the stamp in 2 places and you can see the frame dented at the stamp. My 67 and 79 both have no signs of a stamping in this area. Could it just be too rusted to see, and should I see...
