I hope you're right. It just seems a little high to me. All the sheet metal should bring it down some and the new front springs should settle some also. Kim |
Re: My 57 Pro Street
Kim, my frame sits 3-1/2" above my rockers.
PS. It is looking very good. |
Re: My 57 Pro Street

As the coil packs seem to be about the ugliest part of the LS engines I decided to do something about it.
A little time and a little paint and they don't look so bad. Kinda hard to see in the pics but the bracket is the metallic blue and the packs are metallic grey. Kim |
Re: My 57 Pro Street
FYI: They do have relocation kits for the ugly coil packs and you can hide them and they will not be seen at all. Just sharing info.

Did you add a mean and nasty cam? or did you leave it stock. I added a cam to mine I really don't like that sewing machine sound in a ride that looks mean.lol Its got to sound mean also. With my ride it does not have to be over the top but it has to have a rumble.lol |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
That is the coolest looking engine ever; can't wait to see it under the hood of your truck! ;) Something like that is just out of my intelligence range to mess with~ I ask enough questions as it is;)

Hello, Just wanted to add that I think that the coil pack clean and paint job turned out real nice. Also I like the colors and the final paint theme that you mentioned in your build thread. Keep the pictures coming.

Since I need to start on the body work I figured I needed a couple more toools.
As I'm cheap kinda guy I made my own. I've seen these on the net from others. I made a slapping hammer from an old spring and a shrinking hammer from an old file that I bent a handle into. Needed to file and sand the spring to get a nice finish on it so it won't do more damage. Welded a handle on it for ease of use. Now I need to start using them. Kim |

The hammer was a bit of work as I had to file it and the sand it using progressively finer grades and then finished with some metal polish to get the shine. Kim |
Re: My 57 Pro Street
Wow, you guys doing frame-offs blow me away. Where do you get the time for all these millions of steps large & small? I "intend" to blow my truck all apart for a final "detail" I guess I'd call it years from now when it's done JUST the way I want it mechanically, but realistically I worry that I'll have trouble staying motivated when I do. I retire in a few years and that one of my plans but you younger guys with kids, yards, etc... I just know I'd be off on tangents and it'd just gather dust.
