I had mine much lower than it is now at one time and it was a pain in the **** IMHO, this is as low as go now and even then it is pushing it

Any info would be REALLY appreciated. Also are those C5 brakes I sorta see? I'm into that idea also. Thanks again.

78Vette-SA I started a search your car is TOTALLY on a different level than what I had in mind. The plates are a total understatement. But if you have any knowledge of getting a wheel/tire combo like that on a C3 I would greatly appreciate it. THANKS

Here up north I dont dare to lower anything. Install headers and sidepipes for one more inch of clearance. Frost heaves raise hell.

Will do thanks for the lead. Just so you know that car of yours still makes me happy in the pants. lol Oh and it is my wallpaper now I'm using it to inspire the wife to want one of these even more. Although it might end up being mine instead of hers.

It looks like i see some headlights behind the stock grill and the headlight cutouts are for cooling? is that what you did? if so can you post some detailed pictures? BTW i really like the look of the car.

no, there simply are no headlights in it. The 2 horse shoes were still in there but no lids and such. Going custom with the headlights, no sense in installing the stock stuff now.
