'49 Shoebox......How low can you GO!

Just picked up a '49 ford meteor and it all ready has dropped uprights but the car isnt low enough for me.

Just wondering how low you can go with out bags?

Any pics would help.....

CHEERS!

 

Mine is pretty low without bags. I have to roll it up on 2x4 blocks to get a floor jack under the frame.

 

thanks sounds low you got any pics?

.....and how did you achieve that stance?

 

i believe after about 4" you have to worry about your drive shaft hitting.

 

I did 2.5 drop spindles, 1.5 coils cut off front 4inch drop springs in rear plus 3 inch block in back with 560's up front for clearance and 78's out back. Had to cut the floor and raise the driveshaft tunnel, but it looks cool. getting ready to sell my spindles and springs let me know if interested.

 

jamco disc brake conv. and two inch blocks !

 

FLipped my spindles,fitted lowered front coils to suit a falcon,
about 3.5 inch blocks/angle wedges in the back, and notched the frame and moved the rear spring hanger up 1.5". has a raised tunnel about the last foot in back.

This combo sits the frame level, and exactly 100 mm (4") off the deck, which is minumum legal height here..

 

mine is fatman drop spindles and 1.5 coils cut for the front and the rear is 3" blocks and about half the leafs removed. I built a complete new tunnel and c-notched the rear.

 

better get out the sawzall,your not gonna get it low enough with the stock driveshaft tunnel, mine hits with 3" blocks and de-arched springs,oh and post a pic of the Meteor, I have a '49 too
