  5. Car looks real good man. Get your brakes squared away? I'll keep an eye out for a grill or you could give it to someone who works with stainless and straighten out for you, maybe even less than a replacement one.

    As for the visor, I have often wondered what mine would look like. I think it's either chop and no visor or no chop and visor. Might be a bit much with the visor and chop.



    Good luck.

    Oh pretty! Not to sure about the wire wheels but that said it is rather bad ass. Did you change the engine?
     


  14. Have not bought it yet. It has a flathead 6 and fluid drive.
     
  15. Can you cut enough coils out of these cars to loweer the fron of the car 3 to 4 inches????? Id have to lower the rear 3 inches to get it sitting where I want it and I want a slight foreward rake.

    move the lower control arm spring plate to the bottom of the control arm. just make sure to thread the bolt back in when lining up and welding it. that will get you 2" then cut the coils to finish it up
     
  17. Here's my '50 Coronet the day I sold it...I cut 1 coil from the front, and used 2" blocks in back. Got a solid 3" drop in front, and it had a very slight rake to the front.

    ok...down getting custom headers and exhaust tucked up to the frame rails, going to exit before the rear wheels.
    Next need to dial in the 700r4, so close!

    Any tips on dialing in an air bag set up for alignment? going to Firestone next and worried those guys wont know what to do>>
