As soon as the "Help the old, crippled Norwegian build a few of his cars" fund is overfunded I'll for sure be sending the extra $$$$$ your way!!!!!

Sounds great, Dave! I'll put my lawn chair by the mailbox and wait for the check!

I probably will pull the pan and see what's up, Charlie. It sounded pretty bad, though.

Whiplash, I tried a trick on one of these cars before that worked out good for lowering. I cut the spring perch off the top of the lower control arm and welded it on the bottom. It gave me a nice two inch drop with the stock springs and seemed to work pretty well. My friends said the same about my taste in cars. Why would you want to cruise around in an ugly ass old green four door? Well, I got a thing about having the only one like it around, and I haven't seen too many of these on the street around here. Besides, this thing was around before Elvis got famous so I think it's worth saving; at least for a low buck cruiser.

Thanks for the CLR link, Joe. I'm going to give it a shot when the time comes.
