updated pics-flares-lowered
a few updated pics,i got the rear flares glassed in,working under sides of them this afternoon,and last night i installed longer bolts and lowered the rear almost 2 inchs and cut the front vb&p coils and dropped it 1 1/2 inchs in front,in the pictures the passenger front isnt cut yet im doing that no,with the springs in it front and rear it really had way too much wheel well space.The wife wants me to pick out what i want for rims so she can get them for me for chistmas,so 17's or 18's im going with.If shes buying im getting what i want.i just wanted to get the sanding and grinding dust off car and garage cleaned up.

That's gonna look nice Pat. Those flares look great. Did the drivers side come down a little after you cut the passenger coil?
Drivers side still looks "stock" in this pic. Maybe it's the angle.

Well Pat I hope your right... and I hope perhaps there are a few more 70 degree days waiting around. Although next spring is when I'm planning on being alot more comfortable with my 75's road worthiness and we can meet up at an event so I can inspect your work (better known as steal ideas!!!... hehe). Its looking too :cool:

Your lfairs look great - I've always thought they should have come from St. Louis that way. Consider your hood again - the squarish shape looks out of place with the rest of the C3 curves.......
