So hellspawn, Whadidya end up doin'? Did you get the 4" blocks, rework the springs or do the bag thing? Michael
Did you think about electric quarter windows rather than slide in windows? I'm thinking that would have worked pretty well. Michael

That was a pretty cool opportunity for you. I have a couple of videos that my car or truck were in but nothing that interesting. Good for you...
