Ok, I guess i mis understood what they wanted    Thanks for the correction.  Monroe load levelers , yes that does sound familiar, but with my short term memory  loss, anything is possible,  Thank you for setting me streight.  I'm still learning  and this is the place to do it.

Hi gang, Since the passing of the holidays, I have now jumped back out in the garage in high gear. I keep telling myself "90 days to Hooters nite", and I'm determined to get my '66 painted by Spring. I still have quite a bit of bodywork to complete first though- Tonite it was 19 degrees outside

Sounds like you have some Monroe load-levellers. True coilovers alleviate the need for the stock coil springs. Clint HooperH&H Custom,ownerLT5 Registry Directorhttp://www.LT5Registry.net/ACES #1650http://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint_hooper.htm - Original Message - From: [

Clint,  yes, the coil springs are there, but it's been almost 3 years since I've looked under there and from what I remember the scocks were yellow in color  (can't remember brand) I hope this helps, I also think they had a coil on the shock also.  This was installed about 8 years ago and as I say

I would personally try no hop bars or Southside machine lower control arms to move the IC further towards the front of the car. This usually helps aslong as you have a decent pair of shocks out back.   Mikey   - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 9:4
