    Your right, it does look pretty good the way it sits, but I think the pics make it look lower than it really is.

    I have always loved the way these things look on the ground. Good parking brake too!

    Replace the pedal pads and the e-brake handle.

    ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1393122881.285448.jpg I cut the bumpstops in half on the front, looks like the car settled down a little bit more. Now I just need to get the back down. Put on some air-shocks, should be good.

    It has been lowered by cutting two coils out of the front springs and cutting the bumpstops. The back has 4in blocks for now. I will probably remove some leafs when I add the air-shocks.

    [/ATTACH]I also changed the wheel to a Ididit Steering Wheel. I've had this wheel for a while and decided to put it on here. I put the Caddy emblem on it years ago. I know most of you will hate it,

    '53s and '54s are bitchin' cars, and your's looks kool. The stock wheel
    can be restored and would be a better choice (hey, only my opinion).
    Please don't slam it, if evryone's doing it, fight the wave. Oh, and paint
    the steelies a wild contrasting (candy?) color.

    Thanks man, the original does look cool, but it drives a lot tighter with the new wheel. Trust me, the HAMB is full of opinions, and I consider them all, but I've been doing things people hate for years. I kinda like it. ;)

    What color you thinking on the steelies?

    Sweet! My opinion (yes another opinion ;-)) leave the wheels black, gives it a "meaner" look...
