Re: My most recent acquisistion
Kube I think you must be one of the few people about who is happy with raising the height of your car by changing the springs

Re: My most recent acquisistion
Mart and Weemark,
You two guys got me laughing pretty good at myself today. Thanks for that. Both of you are spot on

Heck, that's why they had running boards so you could step up into them.

Both springs installed took the entire car up 2" all around. Now for the new WHITEWALL tires.

Re: My most recent acquisistion
The NOS springs brought the car up an additional 2". That, with the new tires brought the entire car up 3" in total. It is now 1" higher than the Ford specification. That makes sense as I'd installed 6:50's which are nearly an inch taller than the "standard" 6:00's.
The springs and tires made a huge difference in the "feel' of the road. It's not nearly as "bouncy" as it was with the tired (old) springs.

Re: My most recent acquisistion
Yep looks great!
Is it weird that I like cars that look like this? |

Re: My most recent acquisistion
Had a great conversation with my young brother-in-law Honda racer this weekend. First time he saw my 36, or I'd guess an original-ish 30s ford. Told me not to mod/hotrod/lower it, or anything...ever.... huh.... Think he's on to something. Going to checkout his Honda though. Should be fun too.

Re: My most recent acquisistion
You'd be weird if you didn't like that car I mean, what's not to like?

Re: My most recent acquisistion
Kube
Some nice day in Wisconsin, could you line up your fleet like a super car show for a photo shoot. Only problem beside liability would be which one to put in front. Just a thought. Bruce

Re: My most recent acquisistion
Looks just like Kube's Roadster on the cover of the latest issue of the V8 Times....Too bad about the whitewalls....

Re: My most recent acquisistion
Yikes! That BLUE sure would be 'THE' color of choice. Those new springs surely improved the way that thing sits! WWs are the 'nuts'!! DD |

Re: My most recent acquisistion
6.50 Look great! Looks ready to tour some or any roads given.
Both are stellar. Last edited by Tinker; 08-31-2018 at 08:44 PM. |

Re: My most recent acquisistion
YES, the 6.50s most-definitely give it a very authoritative look. DD

I've been working on getting this one running and once that's accomplished, making certain it is very road worthy.
