Shoot- ordered the springs (and new bump stops) yesterday and they are due to arrive on... Monday (so they won't be going on this weekend). I'm realigning the passenger door on the '65 this weekend- so no big deal. It'll just have to wait a week.

I'm going to install the rears myself (disconnect the sway bar and shocks, lower the axle, install springs and stops... easy peasy), but if I decide to have the fronts installed that will be a job for HPP.

I'm going to get out of work early one of these days and drive over to HPP just to see what they're all about. Looks like an awesome resource from their website.

I have known Manny and Brandon since they were @ the first shop which used to be Speed Works.

I made the mistake of taking my GTO somewhere else for work and tune, and I will never make that mistake again. Hpp is where it's at.

Shit I've known Manny since they were doing business out of a barn on Jeremy parents house behind Bill Utter Ford in Denton.

With a big power stick car, the car is much more unsettled going down the track making it more of a challenge to ET well. A well running auto car is nothing more than just point and shoot. Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
