Heh heh... I didn't notch it -- I completely dismantled it! (it's going back in the clouds with some factory 17.5" wheels)
The PO yanked leaves to drop the front. That got 'er down but the ride was a real mess: bumpsteer and undersprung.
Everything's good here, thanks. Gonna check out another '58 next week.
Keep us posted on yer progress.
