67 SnowBall in Seattle

[plysaker]

Yep, Snowball. She's white, she's pretty and she's Bouncy ASF***

At her heart, she's a FrankenFasty, With a IRS motor on a maybe 66/67 Pan and a top hat that says its a 67, as far as the Governor is concerned. She camne to me in boxes, evidence that hiring a tweaker mechanic is a bad idea, 99% of the time.

She's bouncy, and while I've lowered a few notches, I'm not experienced enough to figure out where the car is at. Shocks are new. no crazy travel, it is lowered a bit, but not crazy.

If I get it all prepared is there an experienced type 3 brother ( or sister ) that could come help me figure out if the torsion rods are right? It's gotta be a bad torsion, right? Do they go bad?

Going off your description, I'd say it's sitting on the bump stops (rubber cone shaped items on a boxed section coming off the front beam, and on the rear as well (bolted on bracket) (this one looks like a dog's chew toy called a "kong". If these rubbers are in place, they limit the amount of travel, but most of the time the front arms are sitting on them (upper one usually). Take a look and see. Also post up some pics of your car, we like pics here.
