Projects Almost Low Enough!!

Here is where the 51 sits now that I got the dropped uprights and steering arms on. Its stock suspension from and rear. I plan on doing a 2 link setup that will allow the rear to be a little lower. Right now the front leaf spring mounts are the only part that actually touches the ground.

 

It doesn't have to be any lower than this.

 

sad part is you wont be able get ot out of the driveway...much less drive it

 

its bagged. It lifts about 8 inches.

 

look at this! this is my buddies, exhuast is ripped off, and potholes are its worst enemy, but it looks kool!! and its not bagged

 

looks good.

 

Wow! that ol' chevy looks great.... I love em loooooooow!

 

section it. lol soo lowww

 

Mine sits about this low with no bags. rides great but I hate not being able to lift it up when I need to! I go through header gaskets weekly. Oh well looks kool!

 

If it don't scrape, it ain't low enough!!!!

 

looks like it has four flat tires,,,,
just my opinion though,,,,
a lot of guys like that style,,personally, i like them a LITTLE higher.......
but to each his own,,,,,,,,,,,
whats the plan for paint, etc?

 

Looks great!!! but since its bagged its not low enough till the rockers lay flat on the ground...i'm still jealous though, I really want an early 50's chev, to bag and chop.

 

looks good,,what did you do in back so far?? you are running leaves right now??? how many?? how is the ride in the rear?

 

Dig it!! Looks great plus you've already addressed the driving thing with the bags.

Looking good.

Cool car... wish there were more like this on the street.

 

Its got a single leaf in the rear, it pretty much just locates the axle. I plan on 2 linking it since its a torque tube. It rides real nice.

 

looks great, just gotta chop it

 

I dont know if it will get chopped. I am not sure that I like them better chopped and my wife definatly likes them unchopped better. I plan on getting all the other mods done and then decide on the chop.

 

man that sits low, i love it.

 

i love the lowered look. around here the streets r lees than perfect for lowered cars. it the front bagged also? i went with the dropped uppers also, just haven't gotten that far yet. as for choppin it, looks good not chopped, gotta be different.

 

Ya its bagged in the front too.

 

Looking good! Drive the shit out of it.

 

Well you didnt say that in your first post Should be fun to drive

 

functional lake pipes n then it will appear on ground... I am not one for bags for I would just lower it with just enough clearance to get around town and drive the crap outta it. I like function over how it looks when I park it or how cool it looks to shoot sparks at night... less issues on the road the better. To each his own

 

With a little work it could be lower
As seen at the Primer Nats

 

My goal is to be able to drive it when its totally aired out. If I move the spring mounts, then I can do that. The streets are crazy smooth where I live. 1/4 inch ground clearance will get you around most places.
