    So I came across a barn find 1967 Short Wheel Base that I have been playing with. Its soooooo very nice to get back to cars that are simple.

    Anyhow... I put the ride height & corner balance where I wanted it yesterday / And had fun doing it.

    Pix! Before & afta! :)

    Hmmmm.. No bumperettes 'eh?.. That suggestion has merit. Let me look into that.

    You bet!

    Ha!

    I am in line to get another too. A 1973 T that a guy bought years ago and has lost interest. Not a great color (black) and very basic. It may be a good candidate for a duck tail and some RS flares tho'...

    This orange car goes to the bead-blaster in a month or so. Then full paint (factory tangerine) and assemble the interior to correct. There is only the slightest corrosion on one rocker (about the size of a cassette tape) and a pin hole at the rear glass base. It has recent all new Stoddard floors already (bonus). But seeing that its a SWB, elec sunroof model (working!), factory full leather, wood steering wheel, Fuch optioned, fog-light, five speed & stereo car I want to keep it true to form.
