Finally Got to work on the car today, and upon removing the shock plate I found the spring locating pin sheared off back in 1971 when it took an off from a street racing incident. Moved the rear end forward approximately 3/8 of an inch... Wheel sits centered in the wheel well and all is good!. Thanks to all that chimed in. :)

Glad to see incremental improvements on your loved one.

Little by little does the trick

Best of luck on your ongoing endeavors !

Merry Christmas everyone!!! A big thank you for every ones input to helping get this thing going again after 50 plus years. Car goes straight NO crabbing upon hard acceleration. Will try to get it out for some of the BIG AZ auctions and shows coming to town in the near future. Be safe- Happy Holidays!

Its been a crazy FUN,LONG exhausting week out in the desert... home of THE worlds greatest auction. Great to hang out and see old time friends and a few new friends thrown in for good luck. Prices seemed a bit soft this year with a few home runs but the fun was off the scale. To all those headed back to the frozen tundra of half of the states... Be safe till we meet again, and keep it swinging, and the tires rolling! ;)  ;D
