    if the previous owner was still on here , I wanted him to see what happened with his grandmothers car , maybe he will see it but I don't think he has been on here for a while.

    Very clean car. That six cylinder and the bench seat were surprises. Really like the wheels/tires.

    I just wish he would have painted the strut rod crossmember black to visually make it go away, instead of highlighting it with white. It draws your eye away from how nice the rest of the car really is.

    OK, just catching on to the fact that you now own the car. (I'm now on my second cup of coffee.... lol) Congrats! Neat purchase.

    This Viking set up worked very well for me , was easy to get the ride height where I wanted it , and has many adjustments for compression and rebound. Used 1/2 lowering block in the rear

    Beautiful car!!! Do you plan to have it in Dayton for the Roundup?

    Please place your car in the Garage section with lots of pictures and detail. That car is too pretty to get lost to the archives.

    Hope to see it in Dayton next week!

    Hope it works out and you are able to come!

    We will be heading up from VA. It is a 425 mile drive from my house to Dayton. We should be there on Tuesday afternoon.
