    Was at a car auction this weekend and a freshly restored forty two door was going for a bargain of a price, I put in a bid and won it. Spent Sunday and Monday robbing parts off of some of my other projects, changed the wheels and now shes a hot rod.

    Was this at a local Idaho auction, or out of state?

    Surely there was something done in the rear too to get it out of the sky? A droped axle will drop it that much in front? It looks great, you nailed it.
