This is how it started except it was parked under a cherry tree for a few years and had a big branch across the hood. The clutch was 99 percent gone and hood was tied down with rope. But I drove it home for $2400 3 years ago.

[bobm]

I felt the same way. I had a lot of people interested in it, but I opted for the interesting story.

Hey, those are some nice shirts!

 

[bobm]

Awesome. They doing a build on here???

 

[scrapdaddy]

Hey Bob, I'm hoping they do start a build here, that would be great. Did you see the car lot over there, full of American iron.

I don't think so. He is part of the Facebook 55 page.

That was at the port in Yokohama. The guy on the left does have an American Speed Shop in Japan.

Received a present today for Chuck. It has been back ordered for 2 months. They did not have the med/light rear springs so they sent me the heavy springs instead for no extra charge. I will be removing the 3rd or 4th leaf. If someone has the med/light and wished they had the heavy instead, it is all yours for the cost of shipping.

 

[scrapdaddy]

I'd really think about hanging on to them until you've gotten everything in and on her. Take it camping loaded down, maybe a long range tank to add to the mix. I basically had the same springs and wound up adding some leaves. Just a thought, they don't eat much on the rack.

I have the heavies with a long range tank. I have kept them together, and for the times that I load/ fill up I would suggest removing some of the leaves. It is not the smoothest of rides. I am just so lazy. But definitely hold on to them just in case you are presented with that epic trip! Just incase you get that awesome roof rack that you load to the top. Just in case you get that roof tent. Just in case you pick up some hot heavy chicks to put in that roof tent!

Oh and write down the numbers on those bushings. Will make it so much easier when you wear them out and need some new ones.
