"...The only reason the earlies are more rigid is because it was the first
unit body Fisher Body ever did..."
Makes no difference... My early Spyder convert has had a body shimmy since
the day I bought it in 1972 (about 35 MPH, and goes away by 40. In the years
past, the suspension has been rebuilt, shocks changed, and been through
numerious sets of tires.
As a fix, in 65 (and up) the General added the "shakers" in an attempt to
damper the shimmy. Me "thinks" the rear engine design, and the resultant light
front end, has something to do with it. I'm just used to it and have learned
to move on.
