Couple of sundown pics of the car. Just got home. Hope to get good shots this weekend when I get the pollen washed off it.

I know the wheels are pretty period correct, but to me they just don't flow right. The car as a whole is nice though; just something about the wheels.
Maybe it is the wheel gap I could fit my head in. Do they make any meatier 13" tires to help fill that?

They do, but I don't want them. The tires on there now have been my favorite since I began driving. If time permits, this weekend will have me out lowering this down about another inch.

Where?!?! Later, QD.

I honestly think you could get away with some 14's man. That color is very nice.

No thank you on the 14's, lolol, but thank you on the compliment. Later, QD.

NEEDS MOAR LOW!

After you get it down another inch it will be aesthetically perfect. What's left on the interior?

I appreciate it, fellas! For real. I know all about polishing the wheels, but I gotta figure out how to get it done, lolol. I hope this weekend will provide me the time to do some lowering on it.

Thanks again, for the compliments and constructive criticism. Later, QD.

DIY polishing is a PITA! But the end product is rewarding.

btw,,,how did you end up lowering the front ? We're using some generic coilover sleeves on mine on the front, but I need some springs with a better rate or it's just going to bounce the whole time.

It's just you. But the gas mileage is very good!

All four springs have been heated and cut, man. You know how I do things.
