Hot Rods Had To Have Another Five Window After All.

Hope that's not a method of getting more flavor out of your Apple Cider my next glass of that will never be the same...

 

When a person gets to our age we'll soak it in whatever we can find.

 

Well the wife figured it was no use. So I made it out to the garage the last couple of days. She wants new counter tops, so I guess she that was not going to happen if I did not get this car done.
Got everything out and the new Posies spring in. Besides the 2-1/2" lower spring, I removed the top two springs so it would work with my existing U-bolts etc. . I will get it back on the tires tomorrow. Can't wait to see the drop. Next the front end comes apart.

I did pretty good with a broken finger!

 

Glad to see you're back at it!

 

Is that a K.R.Wilson spring spreader Mark and whose is it? Depending on the stiffness of the new spring it sounds like you will get at least a 3" drop. Buying a low spring gets you much more drop than reversing the eyes on an OG spring.

 

The spreader is Ted's, I have a small one I made for front springs, but this guy can handle the big stuff!

 

Is it a Wilson one as I've never seen one and was interested. What do you do for reversed eyes as we here in Oz can't afford Posie's springs with the freight costs involved so have to resort to the old "traditional" methods LOL
How about a pic of the spreader, it's still "on topic" isn't it?

 

it is a snap-on brand

 

kinda like when a lost dog comes home you love it more the second time

 

Thanks Ted.

 

Back on the wheels. near 3" lower in rear. Front end next!

 

I like it!! Lippy

 

Good looking car Really like it

 

Thanks! After the front axle and spring are in I will be doing tires and wheels. Tires on car now are rollers from a friend.
I have 16" wires all painted Black. Going blackwalls also. I see a Red door and I want to paint it Black.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR" Everyone.

 

What no red wheels? They would compliment the awesome black on the rest of the car

 

hmmmm?

 

Only if I paint the car Joe Boccuzzi Green!

CT, these would be killer in red.

 

The original line in that Stones song was apparently, "I see a black door and I want to paint it red". Their manager thought it wouldn't go over well in the states due to the communist paranoia. Absolutely a made up fact! LOL

Thanks so much for documenting your modifications as it will come in handy when I finally get going with my '32 5W which I may paint red with black wheels!

 

Car looks perfect!!nice work

 

Not yet, but I’m working on it. Thanks

Dayum! That's nice! Anymore pictures?

 

Got the front end out today without breaking any bones! Need to get the axle out to Williamsport PA. for dropping! Sounds like a road trip!

My home made spring spreader for the front end. Haven't used it in awhile.

Parts are piling up for Hershey!
Started front shock brackets.

 

Just found a rendering I did a while back. What I pictured this coupe to be. It won't be this low but should look good. I hope! !

 

Packed and shipped front axle out for dropping. Worked on Kitchen today, doing some remodeling for the boss! Ordered some small front end parts today. Hope to be in the garage again tomorrow.
