Something I'll share anecdotally: My stepfather bought a 1957
Chevy a few years back; he wanted to replicate his old 'tanker'. I
didn't know until later that, instead of a breathable car cover, he
merely lashed a plastic tarp over the car for the winter. Come spring,
off came the cover -- and a fair amount of the paint with it. The
remaining paint didn't look too good either. It might've been a
coincidence, but the car looked fine until he put the cover on.

No matter what I did, the float was always the same L&R. I can
report this AM that I hit .004" last night, too late to run out and buy
the Loctitie 601. Actually, when I added shims, the end float was
_increased_ by that amount, not reduced. Whatever. And snip,snip,snip is
right; I now have a tiny sliver of brass in one finger (ouch!).

Welcome aboard, Matt! And good luck on the resto. You can
already tell, I'm sure, how much help the Tiger Folk on this list can
be. If an amateur like me can rebuild an entire suspension, etc., with
the advice of these folks, anybody can!
