Today was one of those days just filled with small things that really do not amount to much. The most notable item(s) were an adjustment on the rear leaf spring. What is in the car, is a beautifully restored original unit that was letting the car take a tail dragger stance. Those type of items just chew at me and wrecks the whole look.


I found some washers on McMaster Carr's website to shim the spring (about .200) along with some fresh bushings.



It is headed in the right direction. Once there is a 1/2 tank of fuel and the car can roll out (both front and rear) I think the stance will be right where it needs to be. I can adjust it further. I also took the liberty of adding the correct rallye wheels and W/W's I had.
