I was reading similar info on a S-10 forum and I believe someone indicated that if you use a longer lower bj it helps the bumpsteer and raises roll center which has more positive effect than just doing the extended upper. They also said if you do both extended bj's a tubular upper control arm is a must.

Is this true? Has anyone tried this?

Good evening gentlemen,

On a T-Top car I would only use a urethane busing set due to the amount of flex already there. Also, urethane will not distort anywhere near the amount rubber will over time just from the body weight. Rubber is a good choice if someone really likes the soft ride feel. As urethane is harder it transfers more road vibration through the body and ultimately to the driver.

As for the floor and reinforcement repair I can see if the reinforcements are available aftermarket or if they have to be fabricated. Floor repair is not an issue.  would rather see it to price though.

Brad, thanks for inviting me over and acknowledgemen t! Jason, the car was painted with Urethane and cleared. Although Urethane does not need to be cleared because it will dry shiny and pretty resilient my experience has been that a clear coat finish is less prone to fade and as such is lower maintenance. I managed Brad's repair but my cousin and protégé put in most of the sweat. He has been working on my Buicks with my direction for years and I can gladly say he graduated to be damn good with these cars!

Gentlemen, I was prompted to come here and play and was told this is the place to be. Many of you know me as Turbolicker on other boards but it was time I changed that. I look forward to interacting with you all and being part of this community!
