Re: 1968 Chevy Bel Air Wagon Project

It took a while to get the wagon back on the road. All kinds of stuff need
attention in the summer.
Anyway, after cutting an undisclosed amount of coils off of the front springs,
the stance is more or less exactly what I wanted. In other words the same
distance between the rim and the top of the wheel opening front and back.
I think that makes for a well balanced, and nicely defined forward rake, just
as I like them



So no, I couldn't resist making the hazard sequence animation. Too bad it's
still only in my imagination. I really hope to get time to splice in the
sequential turn signals into the electrical system soon. Just now, we're
leaving for a one week road trip with the blue wagon. It will only be some 800
miles, but she's old and technically I don't really know her that well yet. I
wasn't going on a trip with only an idiot light, so I mounted a temp gauge
yesterday to be able to keep track of the health of the little 327. There's
going to be a big cruising saturday evening, and my Pontiac has had its only
over heating tendencies in this very cruising in past years.
