I have a T-shirt that says, "Throttlers, since 1937" on it. It came from a car show they held every year at Johnny Carson park in Burbank, CA. I...
Just discovered your great story (a year or so late). I have a '40 Tudor with the same front end setup. I'm wondering how many leaves you wound...

Thanks for the tip. I posted a few more pictures of the Tudor in an album. Also checked your albums - nice cars!
Can't use the stock Ford spring. Perch centers measure 38" and current Posie spring is a #2102 -- REVERSE EYE ( 38" PERCHES). Not thrilled with...
Thanks to all who responded. I now have confidence that changing the spring will be worth the effort and that my narrow axle and current stance...
