agreed though, the rear needs to come down. TAs look the best, imo, sitting nice and flat.

The pictures actually make it look far worse than it is. It's bizarre, I don't have air shocks or shackles, so I'm assuming the leafs have been changed for something different. It was a drag car in it's former life, so maybe that explains it?

Not to mention, I installed new front springs a few weeks ago. They were supposedly for a 76 455 Auto W/AC. I have a LM7 5.3 Auto, no AC. The car sits lower than it did before. I think someone lied to me lol.

I've been driving it around a lot lately, and the rear seems to have settled down. I'll try and get some nice pics soon.

Car looks fantastic Craig. How is it running? Hell, Sparks stayed home sucking up to his wife hoping she would continue to let him write checks to get "HER" car finished. I know the feeling.....

Just didn't take pix of my car

The picture is from last September at Stratford Square. So I stand by my statement 100%. Your insults will not help me get anything done faster either.
