dammit i wish my grandfather was alive. Now, once again, i realize how much i miss him.

this is confusing the hell out of me! i need to get my dad to look at it too and read what you are typing, maybe with his years of experience and being around the packards more than me he will understand better.

i am used to coil over suspension and leaf springs and such....easy stuff. this is freaking confusing. i kinda understand what you are saying, but not enough to really dig in. i need to study the suspension parts of the manual.

pretty much all the bushings on my car are VERY rotted, falling of, ripped, etc....they ALL need to be replaced and i want them ALL replaced....so i want to take this whole thing ALL the way down to the frame so i can dip it or media blast it, etc....so, that is my decision.....help me take this thing down.

is there anyone in the DFW area that could help me?? i am getting to be very discouraged with my project and it is affecting my self esteem a bit.....i don't want to fail my grandfather.....sorry to be so sob....

another question....the armature??? (spinning part) of the torsion motor bounces back and forth inside the casing....towards front and back of car. am i missing some kind of bushing to keep it still and in place while it spins

i know i can do this, i am just in a rut right now i guess.

thanks,

hank
