    nice work man. Can you post some pics for the work you have done with the Accuair ride set up I was thinking about going that way with my 53 ford? I like to keep all the stock front and 4 link the back like you did. I see you choose you went with re7 slam bags did they fit right up or did you have a little work on it? thanks

    I would like to see it, too.
    Don't know if I want to notch the frame much on my 53, but it seems to be very necessary if i want to have it low.
    I'm afraid of getting in trouble with german registration:-/

    Beautiful result.

    Never been much of a fan of white/cream colored cars, but this one pulls it off perfectly.

    Well done indeed.

    Nice looking car! I had one in high school back in the early 80's. My Dad and I shaved, nosed, and decked it, but the cherry on top was we installed a glass top in it out of a 54'. Take about being the cool kid in school! What are you running for a drive train?

    Hi made the 4 link, bag cups, bridge shock mounts myself but used re7 slam bags all round ,Accuair e level but would have spent around $2000 on that stuff .it would be heaps cheaper in the states if u live there
