Hi All,

Thanks for the tips on installing those Cragars that were hitting my drum weights. I used a Dremel and ground down just enough of the weights to clear the wheels. Got some nice 225/60 14's on there and the car now looks nice and mean.

My next step is to get the front end rebuilt. I've got all new Moog parts, just sitting in a box. But I would rather let a mechanic do this for me, since I don't have a good space to work. Does anyone know a good mechanic who could rebuild my front suspension - maybe in San Francisco???

I'm also getting an ADDCO sway bar next week - I'll probably install that myself - any hints or tips???

Thanks!

Forgot to mention - it's a 63 Dodge Dart. The mechanics I've talked to so far are acting like it's something from outer-space (they are also talking BIG $). I guess there's not too many mechanics these days who are comfortable working on American steel, or who are willing to charge a fair price.
