    Been working on it everyday, stripping paint, repairing rust. It's exhausting. no dash, no back window, was cruising around town for a bit, don't drive it much these days, due to rain and other crap.

    I like the stance also. My long tube headers wouldn't last tho.

    Why would the stance screw up your headers???

    With the front end so low, it is easy to scrape the longtube headers on stuff. Longtubes hang below pretty much everything on the car.


    Looks great!

    WOW! How do you get the front so low without scraping those headers?

    Mine only have 2-3" clearance and not NEARLY as low-looking as yours.

    Can you shoot a pic from the ground from front to back so we can see how your clearance is?

    Looks GREAT! :thumbs2:
