Old cars

[64bird]

If Old cars are to be bagged what do you recomend be changed on order to make a great ride? For instance, should the front end be rebuilt? Such as tie rod ends etc. Should the leaf springs be replaced? Do you need blocks for the rear, and if not what would be the added benefit, if any, of using them. If you use dropped spindles what mods would you have to do to accomodate the extra drop? And finally can you explain the use of nirtogen and why it would be preferred over air?
Thanks,
Dave

oh and what about the control arms, what are the added benefits?

OK for starters Nitrogen is used for no other fact than it is a cheap compressed inert gas which is fairly safe. The only reason its used is because of the high psi capabilities. But then again how safe can it be hauling something around with 2000psi.
You shouldn' t need new leafs, control arms, or spindles, but ball joints and bushings are always a good idea. The blocks may be needed in the rear though.
