This was the beginning. Then this was a year later. Then my boy Jack was born. The this happened. And today I passed inspection! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats, It looks great. I had one that took 5 years to build. Of course, I took 1.5 years off to build a house and shop.
hahaha Thanx alot fellas. I also forgot we bought a house and pretty much had to redo all the interior cosmetics.
Finally passed inspection?? Are you kidding? Now that you are married there will be many, many inspections. Good luck with the car shes a beauty.
Na I just have a great wife and my dad is the best, he helped alot even though he had his own projects.
Well she is all titled and has VINs. Took he for a good cruise Sunday and all went well. Taking my wife out friday to the race track, my dad is racing a gamblers race, so i should have some new pics.
Details on the stance please! I think it sits just the way a highboy should sit. My Pa and I are kicking around building an AV8 together and we both like how yours looks. How much did it kick the rear? what about that mid-frame kick up? Dropped axle up front, how much of a drop? I cant see in the pics, but I am guessing it is a "spring over axle" set up, right? Congrats on all 3 by the way! It is amazing that you got the car done in that kind of time with everything else that you had going on! Mike
Thanx alot guys. We built the frame out of 2x3 box. The rear has a 7" kick with a stock model a cross member and a t spring with 2 leafs removed. The front is just cut at the cowl and moved on top of eachother so I guess a 3" kick. The axle is a supervision bell 4" drop with a speedway revearse eye spring. We were not paying attention when we did the rear ishould have done a spring behind and we wouldn not have needed that big of a kick owell hahaha_
