a little altitude adjustment on the '54

i'm excited for the skirts too. only problem i have encountered so far with seeing the vision through is that the sombrero caps won't go on with the wheel weights on the outside of the rim. sorta bummed.

 

yes they have, with trim rings that have tines that are compatible with a ford wheel.

 

Looks good.

 

thanks kev.

skirts should be here today! can't wait.

 

just got home from school. headed to the shop now, boss.

 

aren't you guys just too funny...

just for that, no pics.

 

ok, i'm kidding.

here's a side view with the blocks in, like people were asking for:



and here's a shot or two with the skirts:

 

thanks andy. i think the skirts are a win. paint should be here tomorrow. should be painted this weekend.

loving the transformation. thinking that gravel guards come off next, and maybe the 'customline' and the yv8 up front. anyway. we'll see how it goes.

 

that antenna is bugging me too. gotta do something about that...

 

and for those that were wondering about the ride, i drove it last night, and it rides pretty great. i think the rear combination drop is what did it. half in springs, and half in blocks. and of course, i've been riding on the dropped spindles up front for years, so that's fine.

 

thanks jj. yeah i think i am liking it more. sometimes i look at it and wish it was about an inch lower all around. but, it is so driveable as it sits. really, it's a good blend of style and practicality. that's an admirable trait for a car i think. looking forward to the paint showing up...

and yes, just a few subtle mods and it'll be done. then it's time for an interior...

 

^^^oh, damn dude...

 

so, i fitted the skirts a little better, and painted them up. here's how it looks now. well on the way to how i want it.
