Does anyone have a blue print drwg of an early model front suspension? I'm looking for a cut drwg through the trunk, indicating dimensions and heights. As an example, if you search blue print drwg of a 911 Porsche, there are cut drawings through the rear end, front end, or the whole car.

Hi all,
I have a 64 Spyder that has some rust holes through to the front cowl area. In order to weld in new material, I need to strip away all the heavy sealant GM put in there. My hands have a hard time in that area, and I was wondering if anyone had an idea that may help me remove all of it. In ...

I was looking at my rear cross member of my Spyder again this morning, thinking. Dangerous, I know. But when I look at the mounting bolts, they have a steel sleeve between the heavy washer of the lower bushing. The sleeve goes through the cross member mount hole, and through the upper bushing.

One other question I had regarding solid crossmember mounts. The front suspension is solid mounted. Is the rear mounted with the rubber bushing to help with engine vibration? It can't be road noise as that would transfer through the front suspension. I'm looking into making my own out of nylon.

Thanks for the info. I'll start with the reaction rods, tires and new bushings and go from there. My car is a long way away from being on the road, but at least I'm starting..

Just re reading some posts here. Any info on who I could order some solid mounts for the engine and suspension on my '64 from? I'm just starting to get my Spyder going again after a long, long slumber. Cheers

I have a 64 spyder I'm starting to restore and wondering if anyone knows what the stripped body would weigh?

Have you lowered the car at all? If so, how much did you cut? Looks good!

I'm in the middle of doing this conversion as well, 4 wheel disc, and was wondering about setting the master cylinder free play. I gather this is done when the system is full of fluid and bled? I'm using the Clark's '67 master on a '64. Is this an easy adjustment to make?

I sure hope you're posting more pic's! Don't tease us with just the three

Check out Norway Corvair. He runs 16x8 wheels and 205 40 tires on his '61

Great info, I'm in the process of doing the same set up, except I have a 180/150 combo. How are you controlling detonation? Was also wondering if you did any machining to the weber adapter. It seems to look on the small side. Post a few more pics of your

So, does this mean Canadian cars had engines built int the States?

engine # TO428YR. I think I answered my own question here. Could this be the 428th '64 Spyder built in Canada?
