Were you having issues before you knew the engine wasn't level? Granted it would bug me knowing it wasn't right but, if it's a weekend cruiser, I would not be in a hurry to sell.

The suspension is tired, so I have no point of reference how the car should feel drive. I grew up driving 60s/70s cars, so I can contrast the old floating suspensions/ bias ply tires, etc.....to modern technology......but......his car dances all over bumps right now, not sure how much the frame/repairs plays into that. I will have to freshen up the suspension to really find out I reckon.

I'm sure that is true to a degree. I have drawings for the frame, but none of them include +/- tolerance to the gage locations.
