    Thanks for the update. Glad you're driving!
    Maybe air shocks on the rear would allow you enough clearance to pump up for tire changes, while keeping that great stance.
     
  3. you make a great point!! i must agree :)
    I'm running friction/lever style shocks right now. But I am looking for '50/'51 Stude' shock mounts so i can go this route (i believe those years started using the standard tube shocks).
     
  4. I have air shock in the back of my '54 plymouth, handy when I have a full take of gas or passengers in the back seat.

  5. here are a couple recent shots of her … sprayed it black for a photoshoot. i still have to do all the custom bodywork so it was no big deal to spray it black especially since it'll be getting a nice paint job (suede maroon and gold flake to match the dash and around the windshield) hopefully in the next 30 years or so haha.

    i havent gotten a chance to do any body mods yet, been having too much fun driving her and making all the blue-hairs smile and ask 'what is it?'.

    have been running without the O/D so thats my next project on my 'to-do' list this weekend.

  6. Very cool! Hopefully this year I get a 50-51 Starlite. I want to go radical custom with it. Gold metal flake the whole thing!

    You want something really different, cut the roof off, turn it front to back, reassemble, job done,
