I see Paul has been busy! Damn fine work!

What you need is a portable hazmat shower tent complete with a supply of cotton jump suits and a case or two of white cotton gloves.

The car will be awesome when finished, drive it and enjoy

 

[Mr C]

That car is going to be too nice to drive!

I want to mount that door on the wall as a true piece of art.

 

[Wollfen]

Hey Dereck, can I get a big favor from you? I was looking at my spring packs and realized I have 7 leafs per side. Normally the passenger side has one or two leafs more. I have factory numbers on both sides but I am still unsure if mine is correct. Could you ask Paul to count the leafs and see if they are the same number each side?

 

[Fury440]

My `70 still has the factory HD semi-eliptical springs. Paul tested them and found no sag so we reused them. Anyhow they are 6 leaf each side.

Driver side

Passenger side

The disc brake conversion is TSM

My 70 polara 440 convertible had 7 leafs on each side

Mine is 350hp 440, maybe the polara is a 375hp with more torque. If so, then with my engine work, my car is probably under sprung for torque.

 

[polara71]

No, it was a 350 engine. My 383-2 with the tow package got the six leaf springs. My 383-4 had 5 leaf springs.....I upgraded to seven on that one.

I am surprised your Fury didn't have 7s but I've seen a lot of variables over the years

 

[Fury440]

There may be subtle differences in steel thickness etc.

 

[polara71]

Perhaps...... good point

 

[Wollfen]

It is curious to red of the number of variations, in the video posted by vodka the guy states that even having AC in the car will vary the type of springs in the car. I think since Dereck's car is mechanically virtually identical to mine and also has AC I am interested to hear back as to what his springs have.

7 springs for GTs

Wow, those front fenders look premo! I'd say Paul's welder buddy has done an outstanding job getting that quarter panel on without any apparent warp, etc., a lot harder to do that it looks.
