1963 Rambler "Sugar" Resto-Track-Travel-AutoX-Mod

[Suzy-Homemaker]

Nice find on all the vintage parts!

Just curious, what power levels do you anticipate?



Based on your original posts, how radical a turn from "restored" will the suspension be?

Suspension is a good question. At this point, we'll be leaving the rear triangulated leaf springs to see how they work (we're hopeful that they will be amazing). In addition, I'll add adjustable coil-overs and spherical bearings on the front of the leaf springs. Haven't determined how much will be done to the front yet other than adjustable shocks with Mustang performance springs. I'm hoping a friend will mill-out Delrin bushings for the front too. In addition to the basic suspension I'll be adding front and rear sway bars (turns out Corvette sway bars fit perfectly in the rear, haven't trail fitted the front yet) with a Watts Link in the rear for good measure.

As for power.....your guess is as good as mine. I will attempt to get every horse out of that little flat head that I can but something tells me it won't be much.
