Hello: Check out the new pics in my garage. Getting so close can't stand it

Thinking of lowering the rear two - three inches, not sure yet, kind of like the stance right now.

She looks good as she sits... But she would look good abt 1.5"-2" lower in the rear also. Either way thats a sweet ride. :tu :party0031:

If it was mine, I'd lower the rear. Much prefer the more "level" look. Front looks about right, bring the rear down to match. But it's yours, enjoy it no matter how you decide to keep it.

I think it looks good. Mine has settled down to about level and i`d prefer it sat more like what yours is.

Looks very nice, great job, love the paint job. Do you have air shocks on it, needs to come down about 2" in the rear, I have a Belair and when I got it in 1976 it had the same colors, like it alot. Later Bill

Hi Bill:

No air shocks, stiff leaf springs and no weight in it, front has 2" dropped spindles
