    Car seats are a pain to get over the front seat, Kids climbing over the light blue upholstery adn getting who knows what on 'em. You know, the whole 4-door thing does get old but I guess opinions are like **** holes, every one has one and they mostly stink.

  10. I didn't mean to stir the pot fellas. The 2 door, 4 door thing has been done to death. Let's not get this guys thread closed.

    Carry on!

    My car has a subtle rake to it, but in the style I'm building level was the goal. So, I might knock my front spring cups out again, and cut another half a loop off the coils, but I probably wont because my car rides too nice.

  21. My merc will be trail draggin' once I have the car back and have had time to figure out what is the best way to modify the stance.

    On topic, Lower the front as well on a 53 FORD.
     
  23. a friend of mine had only the back of his truck bagged for a year or so now he went ahead and bagged the front as well

    speaking of bagging (shameless plug) I sell air ride parts at prices better than any website out their so if anyone needs a hook up on parts just PM me!

  25. Wow Bob, You should talk to the guys who did your diecast and ask them to let you list all your influences on the back side of your packages. :) :) :)
