    Hi,

    New here, and new to the wagon scene! Just got a 68' Biscayne off ebay. Someone here has posted a pic from the auction. It has had a lot of body rust and frame rust repaired, but it is a good 15 footer, and it runs well. We have been looking for a while, and ended up with this one, until I talk my buddy into selling me his 68' Impala wagon. It is a lot nicer than ours.

    I'm going to look around, and ask some questions!

    One of them is; Where can I find a set of lowering springs for our car? I am having trouble coming up with them. It is a straight 6.

    I'll post better pics when the sun comes back out!

    Thanks, and we'll see you all!

    Rick

    looks pretty good from here..............:D

    as for the springs...just hack the stockers!!

    1coil in front(starting from bottom)...1+1/2 in the rear(starting from top)...should drop about 2" roughly depending on how sagged they are now.

    oh.....:Welcome:

    I've only heard that term once before - 15 footer. Hotrod magazine used it to describe their July 2007 Roller Painting job on a Falcon.:biglaugh: :Welcome:

    Mine's about 15 too!

    :Welcome:Very nice. I'm partial to those inline sixes so in my opinion that part alone makes the car. Good ole Blue Flame.(y)
