Hello listers,

Now that I have the doors and fenders off the car and the engine yanked, I
can see all the grease and junk under my fenders and in the nooks and
crannies of the car.  On the other hand, it's really easy to see all my
suspension and steering components.  :)

So what I'm wondering is, what, if any, kinds of mods have you guys done to
your:

1.  suspension
2.  radiator/cooling systems
3.  clutch assembly
4.  steering
5.  engine (1600)

I would like to lower the car a bit and get some performance tires/wheels.
I am wondering if you guys cut the springs in front or get new ones.  What
do you do in the back?  I don't think anything needs to be done with the
steering, but I thought I would throw it out there.  I am going to get a
header for the engine, and am considering making it a stroker.  I'm not sure
if the stock fan is a great setup or if something else would be better.  I
am also considering a new electric ignition system for the car.  I am pretty
sure that the stock clutch is good enough, but while the engine is out I
thought I would throw this out to you as well.  I look forward to your
thoughts and ideas!

My restoration website will be up soon...i promise.
