Re: 55 make over

a drop like that is gonna call for some serious frame work, like chop off the rear and weld in a big C notch to allow the frame to drop over the axle. that also means a bunch of box work to allow for the C notch. I would make sure the owner understands what the final look will be and, of course, how many hours it takes to do this properly so YOU don't have "come back warranty" problems. it may affect the wheels and tires chosen as the lower it goes the easier it is for tires to rub. shocks need to have the proper travel factored in as well. the front axle centreline may also need to be looked at once he decides on the actual "driving down the road" ride height.
sounds like fun. sometimes more fun when it isn't yours and somebody else is paying the bills. haha
