I guess I didn't think of it that way! Hmmmmm...
Thank you! I do get SLIGHT rub at full lock, so maybe will go to a slightly shorter tire (you know, which will also lower it a tad more... :cool:)
Finally got it done! The Jamco 3" springs and shocks combined with a front end rebuild and alignment have her driving and handling just as good as...
My old '52 Olds '88, almost exactly a year ago today... [ATTACH]
Bringing this one back to the top. I finally decided to go with Jamco 3" static drop. That being said, while my buddy has the car to put in the...
It's already the plan, brother! :)
I actually think you are right...I have the spider caps, and think I will leave them... [ATTACH]
Thanks Jeff, that is EXACTLY where my head is at. I figure cut out 1 1/2 to start after some more thinking, as I am sure they have sagged a bit as...
Thanks Mark, this helps I did a 64 Caddy a few years back, and I think we only took like 1/2 coil out, and to your point, it didn't do much....
Hey @38Chevy454, just curious how many coils you cut out on your Elky? I am getting ready to do my 63 Olds 98 Custom Sport Coupe (I understand, a...
Personally, I like the badging and trim on the Olds'. And as far as wheels and tires, I am on a budget. I'm just trying to be a little different...

Hey Clay, yes, you are correct. From what I have heard and read, only around 3200 were made? Don't quote on that, so I could be wrong. Pair that...
Hey all, So I recently sold my 1952 Olds 88 and acquired a '63 Olds 98. Sweet sweet car, incredibly clean. I could not be happier. Shooting for a...
What's happening is that it seems almost like it is starved for fuel, gasping, lurching. But I have nearly a half tank of gas. I literally just...
Are you saying the inlet from the tank into the fuel pump is A?
Just installed a new fuel pump, and having some issues. Before into what’s going on, can someone simply tell me which is the inlet line one the...
I started emailing with Tony G over there, and he has been extremely responsive. And according to the BBB, they are no A+ accredited.... He just...
Hey Ray, Definitely wasn't going based on the photos - that was just a screenshot showing the two part #s and prices. That is why I am on here...
Thanks guys. I’ve cut coils on previous cars and want to do it right this time. Still curious on how much of a suspension difference between 61/62...
Hey all, I am going to be acquiring a 1963 Oldsmobile 98 Custom Sport Coupe next weekend, and one of the first things that will need to happen is...
I believe this is the same - road race purpose built, yet street legal. Nothing wrong with some terrorizing of citizens!
Beautiful builds - both of them! A buddy of mine built this road race Falcon for a customer. Extremely similar vibe![ATTACH]
Please don't let this thread die! Just went through all the pages today! Killer work.
bump. Would love to learn more!
Done and done! Yes, just a pretty chill dude who has his 4 cars packed in an unassuming 2 stall garage in the Chicago Suburbs. No clubs, no big...
Bump
Next time I see him, I will need to ask! Guy is an absolute genius.
