    i wish it was this easy lowering it..:)









    ...NO coils in the front and 1 leave in the back ,hahaha:D

    had to get it low so i can work on it,and wanted it to look "cooler" while i work on it!:D

    i can see its going to be some work to get the front down...

    i would acutally be happy with the way it sits right now(maybe 1" or so lower in the rear)

    Looks killer. After everything else you've done on that car, the suspension mods should be easy for ya!!! :D

    I think you need to figure out how to put an s-10 clip in it... the stock stuff is marginal even when it's right. Figure it out so I can do mine next.:rolleyes:

    Holy shit Sam!!! That is some killer work... I havent been around much lately and apparently have really missed out seeing flop's build and now this!!! What is your plan for the suspension? Thats prettymuch how I have mine sitting right now, and I was thinking about 'Z'ing the front frame to still have usable suspension. Kinda like in the tech Tuck did with his shoebox. Keep up with the updates, gonna be doin a search on this car.....

    do a fatman clip they require so much less work then an s-10 / nova / camaro clip because putting your sheatmetal back on is cake

    I'd go for the fatman too. I have on Olds Cutlass front clip and I'm still working on getting the fender to hang properly. Had to cut some braces to get the clip in...

    Your work looks cool! Would have never guessed that was a 4dr.

    i agree,,i think that may be the way to go..my steering box and king pins are pretty much shot anyways.. if it wasnt for that i had thought about Z'ing the frame at the firewall..

    i still need to finish up some welding on the top and doors and focus on the bodywork before it gets to cold...then get on the suspension.

    i will be more than happy to do a MII if someone will gladly donate one to the cause!:)
    i dont have that kinda money for the set up.:(,but can really see the ease of installation of one!)

    thanks guys!





    it (and the donor 2dr) were both originally dark green, i was thinking of going with a wine/maroon,still undecided though and looking into other colors as well,,but wanting to keep it very subtle.
