Very nice insight on the torsion bar adjustment. I can certainly attest to the fact that the final-adjustment does in fact make a difference!

Yikes! I hope/take it no one was hurt? What was the root cause? Old tank and corrosion, or something more sudden?

Mike, That DeWalt oil was a Priness Auto purchase btw...easy!

So a few years back I picked up a used IronHorse 60gal compressor (Model# 6160V1 by WOOD Industries). Had some teething problems to start off with, embarrassed to admit it, but the price was a steal (too good to be true as it turned out) and seeing as the compressor switch (another missed...

Yeah, absolutely agree with this! Sure, you could patch it up with plastic stuff, but after a few years it'll come apart.

I was going to post this in a separate thread, but seeing as I had already started this one (on the same topic) I figured I would just tack this on. So I have been looking at the overall ride height (at the back) of my Coupe, and really getting that thing about 1" lower would be nice. That in...

So the weird part to me - which is what I have been thinking all along in this thread - is that I have never actually seen a set of F/J/M-body leaf springs that actually extend the shackle back so far that is hits the dead-stop bar! That would just seem like the leaf spring is too long...

For what it's worth, may I suggest it is all about this ROD in the picture...

Welcome to the forum! As you probably might have already realized, the T-top stuff in particular is probably best classified as made of "un-obtainium"...however, this here is probably the best place to connect with if you are looking for such a part!

Damn man, that's a sharp ride you put together!!! Nice....

Welcome to the forum...aha, some good ol' Dippy.org crowd there!!! (and here LOL)

Man, doesn't that feel soooo good when things are starting to come together to "make the car"??? Nice work!

The police/fleet vehicles normally used the heavier (larger) versions of parts. For example: 1) Tie-Rods - 9/16" for standard - 11/16" for police/fleet (TRW: ES355L & ES352R rod ends, ES440S sleeve) You can still get the hard parts. 2) Sway Bars - 7/8" for standard - 1-1/8" for police/fleet...

@prowler ...buddy, this is killing me...I MUST KNOW!!! (LOL)

...and this is a FACTORY setup??? Actual part, or a service tool...because yeah, I too would love to see a pic of this "thing"!!!
