Back on the Road

[Tim81]

Well, I was able to get the car out today after completing the rear suspension and u-joints. Was a little scary at first, making some strange noises, I think it was everything settling. After about 300ft everything was fine. Now on to the next phase,,,,Tim

Good for you Tim. Doing the same project here. Parts all clean and painted and waiting for bearings to arrive. The NW rain continues so no hurry I guess. Once the back end is togeather the front is next, parts staged and ready to go

Larry, I went with the stock suspension. Mostly just replaced all the rubber bushings. The mono spring is still in good shape so I did not replace it. This car is my cruise car, I just love it the way it is, not interested in building the motor for more HP or fine tuning with a performance suspension, I just drive it and enjoy it.....Tim
