Hey Guys,

Want to change the saggy old front springs in my 68. I have the new BB springs to go in. The engine is currently out and the front clip is off.

What is the recommended procedure for a safe changeover. I'd like to have my eyesight and all my limbs and fingers at the end of the process. ;)

Thanks for any and all recommendations.

John

If your not going to reuse them, you could remove the shock, and torch them into pieces.

Thank you for your replies, gentlemen.

David, that was an awesome link. I really appreciate your help.

Will give it a go this weekend. My deadline is coming.

What's the hurry, it's only been 20 years so far.
