Looks nice... one thing.. and you're gonna hate me for this.. .... "knew" is the past tense for "know" as in "I knew that guy."

You want "new."

hey cornfed63

ya if you notice there is a shot of one of the coils laying on the floor.. just pulled them out to see what it was gonna look like with the mustang II drop suspension in it. i plan on going at least this low in the front and back and maybe a little lower in front.

Re: Slow And Low So Goes The Tempo!!!

57sailplane, could you provide me a better shot of the completed radio area? I'm thinking about filling it in as well and wondering what this looks like.

Re: Slow And Low So Goes The Tempo!!!

It droped.
I know not very far along but i did get somthing done this weekend. the front is coming down farther as soon as i get some mustang II a-frames.. i am going to build my own front cross member. this thing is going to be a coil over truck not baged so it will ride perty low for springs. you guys have any ideas on how close i can run the frame to the rear axcel with 150# springs.

Re: Slow And Low So Goes The Tempo!!!

Dude!!! Haven't you heard? Filling the radio hole will make your truck worthless!!! At least that's what some say about cutting it to put a cd player in.

You better just donate that truck to me and I'll take care of it for you so you don't have to live with the shame anymore!
