    One of the coolest front bumpers ever... Car looks good on the ground. Does the frame touch first or the body?

    the frame is a little over 1" lower than the rocker. I am tempted to channel it but just for 1"....

    I made the front bag set up my self. I modified the s@#t out of the lower control arm and I cut the spring pocket out so I could get a 7" bag in it. Once I go to do the final install I will take some pics

    Nice, I like that :)
     
  13. love those Cads, this is a hand rubbed black lacquer, white tuck n roll daily driver in the early 60's. never looked the same after it got drunk and jumped a curb and ran into a tree. never let your cars drink or do drugs.

    ya those shockwaves are real limiting. You have drop spindles? I got a 7" slam specialties bag in the front and I could have fit an 8". Just a little cuttin and weldin
     
  29. Stock spindles. I could probably do it again in under 3 hours. I'm gonna triangle 4 link it with shockwaves this summer. Stock rear and floors
