The New Project: Part Deux!

[njsteve]

Spent the weekend getting the car ready for the frame repairs. A lot of loosening of nuts and bolts. I got the new set of rear springs (which the company of course guaranteed would sit the car at the correct ride height -NOT). Anyway I put them in and the ride height did come down an inch from the 30+ inches at the wheel well arches. Now it's 29-1/2" tall.

I measured the ride height of my prior 72 T/A with its original front and rear springs and F60x15 Polyglasses installed and it was at 28-1/4" rear, 27-7/8" front. That is what I am shooting for. The company said they can de-arch the springs if I want. I will be calling them tomorrow. Luckily they are close by in PA.

So, I got everything disconnected and then reconnected for the trailer ride to my bodyguy who will be doing the frame work.



And the generic 5-leaf Nova springs that were in the car, next to the new 4-leaf replacements that I labeled with the stencil I made from my T/A's spring numbers a few years back.



And here are the old generic springs in case anyone can use them, I'll give you a great deal! Part # 21-339 comes back to a 70-79 Chevy Nova V8 "Heavy". http://www.stengelbros.net/21-339_p_2847.html
