Great story about your dad Monte! I admire and respect guys like you that have cool old stories to tell from the good ole days.Those are getting harder to come by anymore. My grandpa worked for Kendall Oil for 30 years until he retired and died shortly after and the stories he told I was too young to appreciate and would love to have had him around longer to tell many more. I really think the "Magic" in the SS springs is the fact you could directly bolt them in and have success. I have the 002/003 bolted in my car with no other mods and they work! For me anyways!! Take care and keep up what you are doing!!
