My winter goal is to reinstall the rear suspension on Wife's Bugeye. I have a good handle on the body work.
Give me the scoop on the leaf springs. I have a pair that looks ok. Some surface rust, but not caked. Should I rebuild them? and what do you do to them when you rebuild.
Also I have notice that many restored Bugeyes have a lot of space between top of rear tire and fender opening. Is this proper? I think I would rather have less space in opening.
Will someone please explain how to reverse springs to lower vehicle ride.
Should I just dip them in transmision /actone bucket and reinstall them?
