    1962 Quarter Panels

    I used Classic Industries full quarters on my 62 Biscayne. They were decent, except for the gas tank door was not stamped deep enough for the gas door to be flush. So had to section that in.

    1962 Rear end O-rings.

    they are brand new, got them with the Dutchman axles. One had a small part shaved off of it, probably when I installed them. Always rushing to get things done.

    1962 Rear end O-rings.

    found some at a place that rebuild alternators. Bunya 0-27 was the size that worked very nicely. Thanks for all with the humor and replies.

    1962 Rear end O-rings.

    Was pulling my rear wheels off for a cleaning and discovered that my drivers side axle has a small leak. Nobody around has the O-rings in stock. Anybody have used anything else to "back yard" fix it ,, that works. Or have a size that I might be able to order from Granger or somebody? Pic...

    1962 Biscayne front spring issue?

    They are both clocked and seated on each side. I rechecked this before I took the pictures. Both sides are the same, I even thought I had the spindles backwards, upside down, upper control arms on the wrong side. These just don't fit properly. Going to put some stock ones back on and see what...

    1962 Biscayne front spring issue?

    A few more pics. I think the angle of the low spring perch is wrong it looks more flat.

    1962 Biscayne front spring issue?

    Actually the bump stock mounted on the upper control arm is bigger than the oem on. Just made from urethane. I will get pics this week of them side by side. Raining like crazy right now. Ad the car is very close to the door so I hate getting wet . Should have had the car the other way in the garage,

    1962 Biscayne front spring issue?

    I am in the process of pulling the tubular arms out to measure from the old stuff. Yes, Painted them red to put some color there. Same with the shocks. Black is o.k. for a chassis. Just need to make it "interesting" under there.

    1962 Biscayne front spring issue?

    Hi. There is a nylon bump sop mounted on the a-arm, not the frame. , and yes spring is "clocked" correctly. They (Southwest) said my spring is wrong. it is as far as I know the original v-8 spring from this car. It is around 17 inches in height.

    1962 Biscayne front spring issue?

    O.K. I decided to change up my front end and go with Southwest Speeds tubular control arms. Now the shocks are hitting the springs. I messaged them and they said I have a spring issue as they have sold dozens of control arms and nobody else has complained. I have a all aluminum LS1 engine in it...

    Window Regualtors

    Other than the arm length, the mechanism is still good to keep. 4 door stuff is also good for wagons . SO oyu can sell them and use your money to buy 2 door ones, or cut and weld the arm.
