    Looks good! Do you still have springs up front? If so, you could take 1 coil out. Either way it looks good cause it's running right!

    no springs 9 inch shockwave bags...they were the shortest bags they made..but i made a new bracket for them that cost me 2 and a half inches..if i take em out a cut the crap out of my frame and use the stock bracket it could be 2 to 3 inches lower in front..i'm sleeping on it....i could be happy with it like that..i wanna put the front bumper back on and see how it looks..it came down 5 inches in ride hight up there .

    I hear ya, I've got the chevy just about set-up exterior wise. I've driven it a bit, got up to 240, I'm running the stock radiator with a 160 thermostat. Hopefully a fan shroud will help but I'm a bit uneasy with 240.
    Here some new pictures with the bumpers and stuff on.

    Now you just need a burnout shot. Maybe some Wesson oil on the driveway!

    Hope to see it live next week!

    Thanks guys,
    no burnouts yet...Hopefully I'll get the temp fixed up tonight and then get some interior bits cleaned up and put in, maybe a rear seat! I'm gonna keep driving in the evening to keep working thru the bugs. Maybe lay some lines on it but only after everything else, tuff though on an artsy fartsy guy not to pinstripe it!

    Hey Merc, your doing the right thing. Your going to have a kick ass car once it's done. It'll handle great and look great. Mine is running, but needs a lot of work yet, but all in time. Looking forward to seeing YOUR's at Woodward!
