How would one go about dialing in the ride height without the engine, trans, sheetmetal, etc... If the OP centers the wheels and welds it up like that, he may not be happy with the final ride height. My guess would be to replace the springs and shocks with some kind of fixed spacer. I miscalculated on the '58, it took 2" drop spindles and a bit of trial and error to get the front ride height where I wanted it. I could have saved time and money if I'd have given it a little more forethought...
