Will it always sit that low? I respect your choice if that's what you go with but I just really don't think it looks very good sitting that far down in the weeds.

well, it is low.....I like it, I'm a fan of low cars....

I'm sure it's sitting on the ground right now (right?)....I'm not a lowrider/bag guy but is there anyway to keep the tires from looking so goofy cambered up in the fender well......that's kind of always been my beef with bagged vehicles (just my personal opinon). I still like it though.

I like it too, but you are going to fix that back wheel, eh? I also think that bigger rims will be over-kill. Keep the pic coming as you progress.

well fist off let me state that i have adjustable strut rods out back and (in these pictures) they were adjusted out all the way... i have since fixed this problem, but fully dropped the rear does camber a lil bit still (so that the wheels clear the fenders) but it deff. doesn't look "broken" also the whole car still needs to be aligned... but not till after it's painted and running...

is it laying frame? no... it's about 1-2" from laying... which is good... this way i won't crush my header side exaust... should look rather nice once done

thanks to all that are supporting me in this venture... to all nay sayers i say this... anyone can have a stock car... but not everyone can have a custom built with fab work that took blood sweat and tears to build, so don't hate... apperciate!

btw this car will be anything but a P.O.S. when finished... i already have 3 magazines just dying for a cover shot
