On the rear, we did a new shorter main leaf with reversed eyes, and dearched the pack. The front got a new narrowed main leaf and the rest of the pack was dearched also.  Yesterday, I narrowed the wishbone to go with the new narrower axle for the front. After that was done, I put the main leaf, a few supporting leafs with a block to make up for the rest of the leafs on the front suspension, and hung it under the car. I did the same for the rear, and put the car down on the ground with the new tires. It&#8217;s blocked up at where ride height should be in the photos.<\/p>\n<p>I picked up a Columbia rear end that ironically came out of a &#8217;40 tudor sedan.  While I wait for that to arrive from California, I&#8217;m going to get the front suspension finished up with the roll bar and shock mounts.<\/p>\n<p>Cory<br \/>\n\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2312 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail gallery1'><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n\tjQuery(document).ready(function () {\r\n\t\tjQuery(\".gallery1 a\").attr(\"rel\",\"gallery1\");\t\r\n\t\tjQuery('a[rel=\"gallery1\"]').colorbox({maxWidth:\"95%\", maxHeight:\"95%\",title: function(){ return jQuery(this).children().attr(\"alt\"); }});\r\n\t});\r\n\/\/ ]]>\r\n<\/script>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/photo-3.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/photo-3-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_8087-1024x682.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_8087-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_8084-1024x682.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_8084-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_8082-1024x682.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_8082-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_8077-1024x768.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_8077-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_8076-1024x682.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.misfitsmidwest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_8076-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a quick update on the car: Eaton Detroit Spring got my springs reworked this week.
