I wish I could say why.....I put in some srings Drop Zones and that is just how it was.........I am thinking because it is lighter in front with out all the x-tras under the hood.......I'm thinking I am going to have to cut 1/2 a coil off to bring it down....

dude, the car sounds pretty good, it looks pretty fast . Have you ever drag raced it, do you know what kind of times you run, or even what the hp is on the enigne. I see its a 383 i just wonder if its a crate 383 so then maybe you would know the hp.

Good looking car, nice photography too. Did you put the spring rubber isolators on top of the rear springs?

I have the dropzones on my car too. It has almost the same stance. I think we need to chop a coil out of there on the front springs. I will do it this weekend and see how it works.

Interesting paint combination. I can't really tell if I like the GFX color or not (is that Hawaiian Orchid?), but I love the blue color. That last picture is awesome.

nolanr0413 - I have never taken it down a drag strip at all. I have no idea how fast it could go but I would like to know soon. It is not a crate engine. I had the short block done for me then I did the rest.


nick418 - No, I am not a photographer but thanks for thinking I was....lol :lala: I just got allot of ideas for pictures from here and I just took them and ran with it and that was the end result!


tom3 - Yes, I did put rubber isolators back in the rear. I was thinking about getting some new ones to bring the back up about 3/4 inch then it will be the same as the front.


NEEDforSPEED - I took the picks at a place called Farmers Park. On HWY 14 It is between Lewston and Stockton MN. It is a butifull place! That bridge was made in 1882. I LOVE the old rustic look!



JeffW - The color is called Bright Safire Pearl it is a Ford Factory color 94 I believe. I just had a little different pearl added to give it more of a Jump out look. The scuff came from when I put the engine in last week the picker was not long enough and when I went to pick the engine up the picker came forward and went into the front GFX! I was not happy but I have some 91-92 GFX to put on so I was not too worried about it at that time.

KEVIN L. - Let me know how that turns out!


Thanks for all the positive input you guys have given me it means alot to me

:hail:

Nice car! I was gonna say something about the stance too. That first pic by the tunnel is sweet, kinda like GM would have done for an advertisment.
