Another Dropmember version???? :)

Not quite ready for release... but close enough to show some pics of the coil-over version. It's pretty sweet, but the exhaust and steering shaft clearances will be some work.

Re: Another Dropmember version???? :)

That's what I'm looking for. Coilovers up front, big brake setup and some big wheels. And I thought I was going to keep my 67 somewhat stock. As soon as I finish my project truck I may have to bring the 67 by the shop!!!

Re: Another Dropmember version???? :)

That is the blazer I'm working on for a customer. I will post pictures when the blazer is finished. The customer does not want a bunch of pictures out yet. Our deadline is to be done in August for the Good Guys Show in Pleasanton.
I will be cutting up the driver side header in the coming weeks to make the steering work.
Once this is finished I can write up how it rides. We are using Strange Double Adjustable Coilovers.

Do you think there is a header that will just bolt on without any mods?
Chevelle shorty headers?

We didn't finish in time.... We might end up painting the blazer now so we didn't want to slam it back together to make the show. It is almost there...

Nice job Nate! Can't wait to see more pics of the blazer! Is the ride height about the same as with bags?

Hey Nate,

Looks good, is that also what you are working on for the 47 to 54 years?

Let me know when you have something to show for those too.
Thanks, Dan

Re: Another Dropmember version???? :)

what would the ride height be as compared to bags? And I would guess the ride would be stiffer than bags?

How nice would it be to get ride of tanks, compressors, valves, lines, switches and still have the look and feel of bags????

Nate, we need some details. Can you retrofit a this setup to a current DM?
