I like it i would not have the fround effects on there but other then that it will look clean. Keep it up and put some magnesium on the subframe then you can make sure everybody sees you scraping.

Yep, but that's a ways off in the future. A complete Lincoln Mark 8 setup and I may just use some factory bags since they are the sleeve style and offer more travel.

On the 55 it sounds like your going for maximum low-ness. . Have you calculated it's final height, yet?

Man...the bagged and full custom scene isnt really my thing. However...this is easily one of my FAVORITE cars on this site. Thank you so much for giving that thing enough grunt and attitude to go with the somewhat extreme looks. Its a VERY nice blend of performance and appearance mods.

Im fairly jealous of your skills in the interior. Actually very jealous. You seem to be making pieces for that sucker with ease. I wasnt sure Ide like the dash...but Im coming around on it. I love the back seat area and how you incorporated the console from front to back.

Def keep us updated on it. Im really anxious to see this when its painted and finished up. Good stuff!!!

Magnesium wouldn't spark the best. Go with some titanium drag blocks. It looks bad *** and I like it. Got a little mini trucker in you? I still mess around with trucks. Mine got stolen and haven't done anything after that. As soon as I get situated with my life I'm going back for another s-10. Gonna be dope and keep up the good work. It looks good.

Awesome custom work. Your camaro looks ****. I have a bagged silverado (01) and I'd also like to bag my camaro. I'd like to keep it simple, though (since I don't have the skill, money, or time to do this kind of work). I'd like to try the Air Ride Technologies kit.

Damn how I wish the Camaro Interiors looked like that..lol nice job man that dash looks killer.

After you looking at your big pics, you ever considering taking off the ground effects to see how it would look? I'm almost thinking it may look better.

I made my own brackets, but you can duplicate them or have someone you know make them or maybe even get me to make you the parts you need.
