I been thinking a lot about your 62 since I sent you a PM yesterday. I know guys that ran well in the day of these cars that did very little to the rear suspensions. Now I realize we have much better tires and a better clutch setup. These cars didn't seem to be so bad with a good set of tires and some shocks and maybe an airbag. It was soon realized that hard bushings and raising the mounting point of the top bar at the rear was the hot setup. Are you sure the front is working correctly. In the day everyone loosened up all the front end and the things nearly drug the rear bumper, but got weight transfer. Just some thoughts, I think you are getting there.
