Hello all..I got the major mechanicals on my 1960 Conv done..motor's rebuilt, put the C-6 in, one wire alternator and fusebox, new gas tank, new brake lines, new fuel line, FPA headers (fit like a glove) and 2-1/4" pipes on Magnaflows, stripped the bottom and re-undercoated, bumpers done and re-chromed...and new paint...with 18" Cragars.
She runs like a champ and is a real head turner now.
However, my front end is trash, in my opinion. It works like a pogo stick, creaks, groans, bottoms out, and doesn't have the stiff rigiditty that I want. I've had the bushings looked at, and everything there looks ok..anybody have experience using after-market urethane bushings? I have an aftermarket 1-1/8" sway bar, which helped alot, but I want more. I have considered adding "Airride" or "Ridetech"'s front air suspension, but it's just too much money. I have standard 50yr old coil springs, and basic oil shocks, which I think are just shot. I'm running air shocks on the rear, as I prefer a little more racked appearance, and they added great rigidity to the rear sway. Have any of you replaced the coils and seen a major difference?
I'm open to any input and suggestions...I'd like a decent ride, but stiff in the corners, and no more wheel hop is a must..
