It was real squirly when I drove it out at Dumont and I was all over the place... so I played with the suspension.. changed tires and anything else I could think of at the time to make it drive and ride better.. Some things worked but it wasnt riding like knew it could so... after me complaining a whole lot, my wife said tear it apart and fix it... so the rebuild started... coming out nice and I am excited to get it out and adjust it. Hope for the new car feel and smell when I get done lol Capt

End result after Powder and paint

!st off let me say how much I appreciate my Wife and friends.... James and Bob have gone above and beyond the friend.. duties.. There has been a lot of hours in the shop and many Gallons of sweat lol. Lets start at the beginning.... Car Did not handle like I know it should have ( considering Bobs car is the same car and it rides great).. and I was having issues with the clutch ( lol ).. We took the engine out and replaced the clutch with a superior clutch (I hope ).. "Kenedy".... upon dis-assembly we noticed that the trailing arms had some play with them and decided it was a good time to pull out and replace the bushings. Removed the shocks for a rebuild and At the time only had plans to rebuild shocks and clutch. After removal of the trailing arms I was going to powder them up and clean up the chrome as it starting peeling away from the sand blasting it had taken. I sent the shocks out to the shock guy here in town and had him take them aart so that I could powder coat them orange to match the car... I was very un clear if the powder would work or not and that if there would be a problem with the re assymbly of the shock and the seals being able to seal and not leak. After Ed took the shocks apart I ran them over to State of the Art Powder coating and he seperated the parts and we decided on what was going orange and what was going silver. After dropping of the trailing arms at P/C I decided against the silver powder coat and Bob found a place in Cali that was resonable so I sent them to Bob and he delivered them and also picked them up about week later ( I am glad I went with chrome instead of powder on those parts). After powder coating called and and said everything was complete I sent them back over to Ed to have them Put together... after a little fudging he was able to get them together without any sealing issues .. After all the parts where in and I bought all new bushings , sleeves, shock rebuild kits, grommets and what nots it was time to put it all together.. It took several hours to get the trailing arms on and adjust the shock mounts so that everything cleared properly and worked like we wanted it... After the rear was done and the price was resonable for chrome I decided ( after listning to Bob and James for a week) to tear into the front and start that and replace all the bushings and rebuild the shocks again.. took the A-arms to the chrome guy and my bypass tubes to get them done (waiting on them now).. I have already bought new bushings and sleeves for the front and also Hiems. Last weekend (again after listning to Bob James and my wife) I decided to take all the paneling off (well Bob did that) and repowder them.. will be picking them up tomorrow. Hopefully all the parts will be back and ready to put on by next weekend and I can finally get a shakedown run and be ready for season to start... I am sure there is some stuff I forgot ie. New radiator... but that is the jist of whats been going on for the last couple months... Many thanks to My friends Bob and James for all the help and all the directions... Capt
