Looked like this when I got to MarkX's shop:

Swapped out a spare set of coils I'd already cut (no pics of the rear...it took all of 15 minutes maybe??):

And the result:

Gonna let it settle some more, but looks like it needs to come down another half coil in the rear...or kill Mark and toss him in the trunk.

So much better lowered. Are you still wanting to look at the falcon? Had not heard from you.

<font color="green">Nice work!
The killing MarkX and throwing him in the trunck will only work for as while. As the body decomposes the rear will rise back up.
That and you will NEVER get laid with that smell in there. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Since you are all here. I will be in Dallas June 22-25 and then again June 29 til July 9ish.
I scheduled both start days to be on Tuesdays, if I'm still allowed to "HANG" with you all, seeing how you are an organized club and such. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Have some projects lined up for me....I'm jonesing over here!!!

Is that in addition to the tarp and gallon jug of NAIR?
Have you all changed the routine?

Two more inches in the rear + Astros and Skinny Whites + Flat black primer, metal flaked roof, and metal flake scallops = Bitchin' for cheap.
Hey, in fact, Hamilton has some Astros in the classifieds for cheap.
Looks good man.

Handles pretty well...I need to go get it aligned pretty soon, onlt a slight vibration but enough to tear shit up over time.
When we left Marks, we discovered the right front brake line was pinched in the coil, and it would go left when I hit the brakes. Got to Byrons, pulled it out and tweaked the bracket, all is good...
Hami has 14" reverses....I'd need 15" regulars. But I don't want astros anyway, I want the same wheel's I've got on it, only chromed. Gonna be badass...eventually.

Looks good man! I love the mid-60's GM cars...especially when on the ground like yours.
