here's my 66 dart convertible

like the title said "on tires" again after 2 years :D I still have to do the rest, motor brakes wiring top carpet ect. the list goes on. the Darts on tires again after 2 years of hanging out on a dolly cart or a rotisserie. It feels good to be able to push it around to where I need it.

yeah. I'm going to drop it down a couple of inches. I didn't think about it when I ordered the new leaf springs and told then I wanted super heavy duty 6 leafs in there and 2 inch raise. whew sure does put it up in the air don't it. might take a while to sag don't ya think!

I can just imagine what it'll look like after I get the engine and tranny in to get that nose down, Tail light will be pointing toward the sky! so lowering it is going to happen.

Looks good and the rear will sag a little. Those xhd's would be enough all by themselves. I replaced my rears the first winter I owned my car. I ordered them from ESPO. The gal on the phone asked me whether I had 5 or 6 leaf springs and because my car was locked up in the storage garage I guessed at 5 leaf. Guess what! They were 6 leaf. I installed them anyway. They have settled a bit over a few years but eventually I will replace them with the 6 leaf units. I like the look of the early A's when they set up in the air a bit. tmm
