What coils did you use, 620's? What did you do for the back, new springs or lowering blocks?

I'm sure you got plenty of red paint left. You should color match your shocks, valve cover breathers, intake tube and blowoff valve with the body color and then get some black wires or some red msd ones. It would tie it all together and look planned out.

Looks good. It sits about where mine does with 40+ year old leafs and 1 full coil cut off the front. I bet yours rides 1000 times better though. [Big Grin]

I wanted to duplicate the stance with new springs, just couldn't find anyone who cut 620's.

Pretty much everyone ends up cutting the 620s they say 1 inch drop but due to the old ass coils that are saggin they usually sit higher.
