This car sits about 2" too high on its suspension. Front adjustment was easy, just a large bronze nut at the front end of each torsion bar. Need to re-arch the rear leafs. Specs shown are dead on. What you do not get today is the smells. Inside smells like Leather and warm motor oil, and I kept a pouch of pipe tobacco in the tiny glove box, and that smelled nice too. Best at speeds over 45 mph.
Gorilla steering when parking.
