Man would I give to just spend some time each day with you to see how you do all of this.

Also, I see you have a low mounted ac compressor - did you have to notch the frame or is this a special/small ac compressor? If so, name of the kit???

oh this decision might not of been the best choice of thing to make it easy! however i never said i was smart! motor going back 2" rear suspension going up 3 to 4" front suspension going up 1.5" and that is my latest plan that changes everything !

I assume you're trying to lay frame on the 70...which is awesome. Are you going to have to modify the floor pans? Or at least the one between the trunk and rear seat to get the rear end to tuck enough? My guess is that you'll already have to to get the frame c-notches to fit. Fantastic work by the way.

lol. do i amaze you on how stupid I can be? i am after all starting over with something that was almost done.lol

not quite looking to lay frame just want about a 4.5" ride height and proper suspension geometry to make it work well at that height.and yes I have to cut up a perfect floor and trunk to make all this fit. I never claimed i was smart!

making some progress or should i say anti progress! decided to change things up a bit and that snowball is now rapidly gaining speed heading down the mountain gaining mass as it rolls!



gotta love factory welds!

I saw your post above where you changed some things.

Can you go into some more detail of what you're doing? I thought your stance looked spot on before. Clueless why you're hacking things to pieces again! lol

lol. maybe because i am a glutton for punishment ! i am my own worst enemy !

ok i will give you guys a little rundown on my changes planned. why you ask ? after much deliberation i decided i wanted a lower ride height with proper suspension geometry to handle like its on rails and not have anything hanging down below the rockers of the car. this includes the frame sticking down so i decided to move the front suspension up 1.750 the rear suspension up 3" and i am going to cut my perfect rust free floors out and make the body mounts and floors from scratch to get the body lower over the frame. and as long as i am at it i might as well move the motor back 2" to fabricate a new firewall too. and and and. ohh FF0k what did i do!!!!

douglee25

Dang. You are nuts!

I can't tell if it's laziness or diminished returns, but you wouldn't catch me cutting that apart after you had it looking that good!

making progress has been slow lately but still changing things up to get this thing at the ride height and the off the shelf sway bar to fit with as wide of tire as possible.

this was the first attempt to get the sway bar to fit.



second attempt went better.
