Jim,
I have been posting like a fiend and I just went back to proof the thread and noticed you posted! Sorry I missed it.
I am going to show you the tricks we do to correct the original problems the car had. There are many little things you can do to make the car better and safer. I will show you some really ugly things coming up that NO ONE ever thinks of with these cars. I will discuss metallurgy and why we do what we do and why the original guys did what they did--complete with the advantages and disadvantages of both. It will be an interesting thread. I will move on to the front suspension when I am done with the rear suspension.
Stand by!
David
