I highly doubt letting these two cars make one full speed pass will result in property damage or death, but what do I know.
Very neat! Let us know how it goes. Shame that like everything else these days, "safety" pretty much ruins the fun.
If your going for a late 60s look, I am not sure lowered would describe that look.
I always liked the Badman, of course I am partial to hard top 55s!
^^^ I wouldnt consider your car significantly lowered, there is nothing wrong with your stance at all, it looks great. Honestly, I propably...
Why is it that evertime someone reveals an original stock vehicle, everyone immediatly tells them to lower it. Every car does not need to be...

Great!
Great car, hope you just clean it and tune it up, please don't cut it up or slam it on the ground. Good Luck!

That is not a stupid name, its actually pretty cool.
Ha great! My wife and I pulled into the station so I could take a picture of your car, it is incredible! As you can tell, I have a thing for red...
The current issue of Hot Rod Deluxe has a black 57, with a Buick grille.

I figured thats what you were looking for! ;)

Here is a 55 that was on a post a while back. This is an old photograph as you can see.
^^^^^ In my opinion the above car is really more of a very mild custom cruiser than a hot rod, the yellow 56 you posted from Watson looks more...
I still think some of these cars are too low. Beautiful cars but still too low nonetheless.
[/COLOR] ^^^^100% correct, a four speed is a must
Another misconception people have in my opinion is that everything should be shaved off of the car, the type of car you want to build is a street...
A 1960s 55-57 would not be lowered, I am sure you are aware of that, a street car would not have been set up as a gasser either. It can be a...
Glad to help out.
