The passenger side rear tire was hitting on the wheel molding. The original leaf springs that were on the car were flat on the passenger side. One of the former owners must have taken out a couple of leafs to lower the car since there were only 3.

Almost all 69 big blocks had 5 leafs but some had 4. Mike said 5 will be going back in tomorrow. If the weather gets better and the car is ready, I'd like to go to Dawg's McDonalds show on Friday, the Celebrate Granby small car show Saturday and the Simsbury Fly-in car show on Sunday.

Here are some pics of the underside before taking the leaf springs out.

It's amazing that on March 4th 2011 it looked like this and I wanted to push it off a cliff. If you wanted to fight about it on March 4th 2011, I would have had it delivered to your house....no charge. LOL.

The main lesson I learned is never buy a car with 1/2" of undercoating!!!
