Newbie Up and running, FINALLY!!!

[myKIDStoy]

Hey guys,

thank you all for your help. Last time i posted about Speed issues as well as a broken leaf spring.

Well got all that sorted out. With a lot of help from LeftArmTan (jim). THanks Again Jim.

In the process, we reversed the shackles and Jim welded everything up for me. Oh and I got her some new (to her) wheels and tires.

Now she's sitting higher. We're going to attend your next meet on 08/20. Hope to meet you all and to have a good time.
Here are the before and after pics.

Looking good X2 - the stance looks good with the small lift.

thanks guys. I'm really enjoying driving it to work. Took the wife to In'n'Out yesterday. the first time we actually took a small cruise together. She's really digging it. She already suggested a paint color and A/C. I guess i don't have to ask for permission now.

Looks great, what springs did you go with?

... and A/C. ...

Or just take the top off? Wait,, don't do that, it's way too much fun and will never want to put it back on!

I ended up going with MAF's.
2.5" upfront and 4" in the back.


haven't taken the top off yet. I'm waiting for it to cool down a bit more.

I'd paint that roof white like it once was. All 40's came with white roof, right?

X2, not just white, but Cygnus White.

 

[myKIDStoy]

Yeah i noticed the red top. Will add to my To-do-list.

When you have the Cygnus White out, splash some on the bezel.

Might as well put it on right side up while your at it

Bezel Police

Haha,

You told me about the bezel police, didn't think you'd be enforcing it. Will definately fix it before the meet.
