RE: IML: Front End Suspension 1963 Le Baron

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

I agree with everything Dick has posted here, plus I would suggest following his advice about who should do it. If the trip to Oceanside isn't workable, then you will need to find a front end shop that you are absolutely certain is familiar with these cars. Some shops are willing to try, but once they get into it, they can't get out. If that happens, you may have to pay more than what you paid for your car to get it fixed right.
