My car is in the last couple weeks of its restoration down at the shop and i've been thinkin about bringin the car back to my garage to do front coil drops, rear leafs, and a new front brake set up. I would like to do this first before i get that nice fresh paint job on there so i dont run the risk of banging it all up while im workin on it. How long do ya think it would take to do the coil and leaf springs. I figure i can do the brake conversion in a weekend.

I did my coils an leafs in a day, be prepaired to have to cut the front eye bolt out of the leafs if they are original. I read somewhere you should pain first, as to not get overspray on the suspension. Personally I would be more worried about messing up the body paint than overspray. But I dont care to have an immaculate under-body.
