Soo... just curious.. now that my springs are installed properly and have settled i have like 1-1.5" of space between the tire and the outside inner wheel wells, it looks great with the tires tucked in but i don't feel like bouncing off them over bumps. So.. my front spring mounts do have a lower hole but will add negative pinion which i can't really do. Was just wondering if 1-2" longer shackles would raise it much? And yes.. i hate the long shackle thing but i'm not talking thunderbolt and lightfoot... and the factory ones are pretty short.. Are there downsides to slightly longer ones?

Also thinking of how i might modify the wheel wells to keep the lower ride height due to awesomeness.. but not sure how much room i have due to how the quarter rolls in.. Funnily i have plenty of room at the wheel lip..

P.S. these are new ESPO +1 springs so i am not up for buying another set now...

Took everything out of my trunk on the Scamp making sure I didn't have a puddle of water in it after all the rain over the weekend.
I never paid much attention to the spare tire as it's in good shape. Montgomery words tire. I think I better change it for a newer tire.

We have a few road projects around like this. LOL

Then there is one where they seem to be digging up random spots on one section of road and nobody is really sure what the project is.
 
Guess the idiot side of my brain was switched on yesterday. Got ne an inner tie rod end instead of an outer. So here i sit broken hearted…
Going to do some work on Studebaker.
 
Major brain fog today. (what's new) Sinuses, allergies or what ever.

Ah! That's what's been in the back of my mind that I couldn't remember!

Doc said someone was going to call me to set-up a colonoscopy, but that was about a month ago. So far, haven't heard from anyone.

Thank you for the kick in the brain! I'll call the Doc's office right now.

I think it might be a Statewide thing. A good friend of mine lived in Chambersburg, PA, and he used to hold an annual event at his place that drew-in people from around the country. We used to joke that we must have been there only "last week", as the road construction on Highway 30/Lincoln Way dragged on for years in that town.
