Frank, I just got out from the 1963 and found thet the trunions and tie tors/ends appear to have been greased at regular intervals as the previous owner confirmed with me today...What the problem appears to be is that the lower control arm sheared at the outer bolts. It looks like a clean break, my assumption is that it was due to age, rust and simple metal fatigue. Does anybody out there have a set of lower control arms that the are willing to part with ? I'll even take all four (both uppers and lowers) if they are available. Thanks, Bill Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx> wrote: Jamie, all my carbs have been on the "interior" of the car (under the hood). Would look rather silly on the outside! ;> Bill, between Tom and I you'll have that front suspension right in no time! After the springs are out it's really easy since each side will come out of the car as a unit and can be rebuilt on a bench then reinstalled. I have a few spare parts for it if you run into problems locating them. I don't really want to get rid of mine, but will if you can't find any. ---------------------- Date: Sat, 31 May 2008 20:27:14 -0700 From: "Jamie Smith" They put interior carbs on those? How does that work? I couldn't resist. Congrats on the new toy.
