    Trying to find the article on Jag suspension in a Buick that Zman but keep getting error. Is it still available
     
  2. Was looking for it a while ago
    Zman deleted the thread after the photo bucket nonsense and his pics where lost.
    ****s as it was supposed to be a great thread.
    There’s a post on team Buick a guy did it on a 55 convertible but it’s not that great of a write up or pics

    That is why when I find an excellent article here on the HAMB I hit print for an old fashion, just like the days of printed magazine, I can read it in my hands, then I file it into a binder, as I did with this one. I don't have to worry about busted links the next time I open the thread,,,,

    Yah, that works, & I've been doing some of that too, + 'save page as' (although for some reason, not all the pics got saved in the past from different websites), but the new format(s) absolutely ****s for that. What used to take, say 3 pages, now takes ~8 or usually more, due to all the white space. Making the font smaller saved ~ 1/2 page, but now can't read it. I do wish there was a way to bring up a site as computer-friendly, or phone-friendly. Not everyone lives on the gd phones for everything. Marcus...
     
  7. The elpollako thread is just amazing what he done to that olds.

    But this was on a car that was clipped.... badly and he cut the front frame off, manufactured his own the hung the jag clip on it. Truly a work of art.


    From what I found in the web the old crissmember is cut out, and about 1 foot of frame needs to be cut out then set in or canted a few inches to clear the jag upper control arms.

    I have the front and rear suspension set ups out of a XJ6 to do the swap on my 55 special but on the fence if I want to go through another big project.

    Did the front swap on my 50 Chevy it was a bolt in and made a huge difference in the ride and handling.
