I think you should get some Dropzone springs.. Especially up front, it's riding a little high...

No seriously, looking good.
Nice color.

i think it looks sweet! I have moog iroc springs myself, and i think the look is killer. Of course I have a sportcoupe, 350HO, and I'm going for the sleeper look. Your gfx won't make it look so high IMHO.
I wouldn't mind if the front end sat 1/4-1/2 lower, but since i've taken out a couple things on the front end, thats my bust.
Keep it up, that looks sweet!

That thing is going to look awesome. I think the Ronals will look good on it!
Some day I'll have mine looking like that: new fresh paint and a perfect body!
Nice job! Keep the pictures coming of your progress.

Well, I'm making a little progress since the last update. Got the dash back in and heater core. Master cylinder, front brake lines, most of the heater/a.c. box, wiper motor and linkage, and the wiring harness. Let me know if I'm boring you guys.....

I don't want to add it all up. It's not alot compared to some of the projects here. I've got about $5-6k in the engine including the accessories. I've done all the work so far except the painting. I've got $1300 in the body work so far.

Base coat, clear coat. I'm not too up on the painting stuff. The 1300 was pretty much for materials?? When it's complete I'm supposed to owe $2000 more.
