Ouch, the bushings are rotted on my 56 Patrician. How extensive should a front end job be? Where can you get all the parts? I know someone who has the special tool (thank goodness). I live in LA, where or who would take on such a project. I don't have endlessly deep pockets so I hope to have some options. Any suggestions about what all parts I should get what I might not need and what I might leave out.

This forum has been a great help in the past. You all have been great in the past and I would appreciate any help you can give.

I know that this is an old much discussed topic but how much of a difference is there with radials over 4 ply's? Is the drive that much better on the highway with my 56 Patrician? Does the suspension help even out the differences? Is there that much pull from the pavement grooves? Is it worth the added cost?

I live in Los Angeles. Would like to have the motor on my 56 Patrician rebuilt. Anyone out their have any suggestions.
