    Originally had 14" wheels with the 3" blocks in the rear, and I loved the stance, then I got 15" wheels and thought it sat too high in front. So heres where Im at now.

    1 1/4 coils cut
    Bout 3 5/8" blocks in the rear

    Picked up some 53 wheel covers in pueblo last weekend too.

    Also decided to ditch the pink blanket seat cover over the back seat. So I went to walmart and bought some fabric and redid it:

  3. Cool. Really like the cover on the seat back. The wavy animal print, not so much.

    Nice looking ride. What are your next plans?

    I assume, like with most of us, there's always a next step.

    Thanks guys!

    Next up is to assemble my flamethrower kit, find a new front seat, and pinstripe it. Got a big mural planned for the trunk lid.

    LOWER my friend! drop the front another 4-6" and the back another 2-4"...you need some skirts on there! dummy spotlights might give it a cool look...and I know they aren't cheap, but I'd slap some WWWs on there too! Keep at it man...its lookin good!

    I really dig that green w/scallops. Wide whites would definitely help this car.

    I really dig the red! The skirts really change the look of the back, regardless if you drop it more or not.
