So come to find out the springs are not worn, the blocks where to raise the front end. In the back he installed coils springs and perches on top of the Leaf springs. He was racing it, someone sideswiped the car while racing.

Also the gas tank is still in it. I brought it home from the shop last weekend and looked it over a little better. I haven't had much time to play with it. I'm going to get the engine running this week.
