    Nice!
    Has a real good stance and sinister look.

    I notice your slapper bars hanging a little low.
    Do they work well there?
    I had to shim mine up closer to the spring to get them tuned in.

    I think I would let the front end down about an inch, but it looks good! I think my '69 is gonna end up being flat black until I have some money to really get the body right.

    Thanks for the compliments :)

    The snubber on the slapper bars are only about a quarter inch away from the leaf. I no longer have any wheel hop at all, so I'd say say they work, but all I did was bolt them on.. dint know where to position them on the leafs or tune them at all.


    I don't think my headers will like being any closer to the road, Pennsylvania roads suck lol.

    How much you want for it? Anyway that looks awsome my driver was the same color. Look on the other site under sharing pics. If I would of new there was two cars that looked like that in PA we could have got pics of them together. Nice car

    Heres some interior pics.. the drivers side seat has some tears in the panel but other than that its sweet.

    The headers are Dynomax Blackjacks.

    Classic and timeless hotrod look. Actually - what exactly is the primer brand and type? My gray primer needs to be touched up and I was thinking of changing to black.
