Found this in the Chatroom. I'll PM Bill Van Eck and point him in the direction of this thread for answers.


[Bill Van Eck] 3:47 am: I have a 39 Packard business mans coupe. I have pulled the car down to the frame and I am restoring the car from the ground up. I need help on how to compress the new front coil springs. I have tired to compress one and broken my spring compresser and sent parts flying across the room. So if anyone knows how to compress these springs down to fit I sure could use the help.
