Re: Ol Blue

Well not much has been done this past week. I put about 200 miles on it in the AZ heat with no problems. A/C works great for the people in the front seat but something will need to be done if I want people to ride in back. I have been feeling a little shake at 65mph to 75mph and found the center bearing rubber was gone. I replaced it and check out the under side a bit more. Not much is going to be needed.

Re: Ol Blue

I had all kinds of things I wanted to get done yesterday. Not much did. I helped my friend install the hood on his 58. Got a bit done on my short bed and installed chrome headlight bezels on Ol blue. With the rain putting a end to much of what I wanted to do I helped my girlfriend with her marketing event at the Casa Grande fire work show. I got to use the sub and got some compliments on how clean it is. Had one guy give me a hard time about how dim the tail lights are but that is on my list of things to do.

How is the ride with that setup? I'm set on going air ride but for the time springs like that might be nice.

Re: Ol Blue

It's weird because the stock coils someone at onetime heated so it was lowered but it was very bouncy wit these coils drops so low that the axle is sitting on the rear rubber stops but a nice cpp said it shouldn't set like this I sent them photos will see what they say about solving this issue

Maybe the coil's are for a pickup? My sub sit's a little lower in the rear with all the extra load of the metal and glass out back. I think air ride is the way to go. If I could get half the ride quality I would be one happy man.
