I just thought about this, had completely forgotten. If anyone here has a 58 and could get me some pictures of the rear suspension setup and the...
No one dealt with this on a 58-60 bird eh? It's tough to dig up things about modifying these things!
More specifically, I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do with the rear end. I've never dealt with bags on a leaf spring car before, and...
Wow...I used to live like 7 miles from there, closer to a 3 hours drive now though...I can't think of anyone to look at the car off the top of my...
