Re: Numbers on Chassis??

Based on your post, I'm assuming the car did not come with a log book. Since the previous owner was not able to get it passed as v...

I'm not sure who you're talking to You are polluting the thread with mindless garbage. This is a plain vanilla three spring rear suspension system. Nothing to do with a mono shock. It does not even incorporate the common Sachs rotary shock. Try and find something that is remotely useful to FVs. I st...

Robert Guhde, George Podgorski as well as Butch and Barbara Deer were there answering all our questions.

I was only using my iPhone, he was running in the 58 - 59's a little slower then the club fords, faster then the Vee's.

Re: Zink Solo Vee questions

Thanks for the info as usual!!!
