    don't be a poser, with that stance, you better be quick. that's why my car is low and slow. I can't afford it.

    Reading the ***le, I was thinking the car had the fenders and hood from a '55 truck. Now that would have been really interesting, not to say that this isn't a good topic.

    I've NEVER seen anyone use the truck frame horns and steering box before; most just use the springs/axle. Butch/56sedandelivery.
