Finally on the ground

Post by Dollisdad » Tue Jun 04, 2024 8:23 pm

First time on the ground so I pushed it outside to have a look. I’m happy. With a 2 1/2” dropped axle and 26/27 spindles, I had to really flatten out the rear spring to get the car to sit level.

Looking good there Tom. looks like you secured a Torpedo tank which was a great pickup. I would love to see a picture of those 2 lovely lovely girls behind the garage doors!

Tom, you always post wonderful photos and I enjoy them but seeing a real thing is better. Congrats on your project and making a vision come to be.
