It looks factory. I prefer a little forward rake.

Whats up with that hood crap?Seems like the foam in the RA pan is too thick.I remember my 69 GTO with the RA pans was the same way.Tom

Agree - current stance looks factory correct. The ride height measurements are in the service manual if you want to verify it.

I'd let about a half inch of air out of the front springs to level it (not raise the rear...), but that's just the way I happen to like them...

I too like a very slight rake, but it's beautiful as it sits now...

Mine actually sits exactly like that Tom....except mine also sits a bit lower on the driver's side than the pass side.....That part, I DON'T like.
I wonder if it's because I ripped all the A/C stuff out?

To intelligently answer your question about if it looks right requires knowing
how much fuel was in the tank when the picture was taken. If the tank was empty it's sitting a little low in the back. If the tank was half full it looks
right. If the tank was completely full, it's sitting high in the back.
