new bagged 79 swb project

Got this in a trade deal couple weeks ago, decided to drive it for a few days and figure out what i wanted to change.

the short list of change......almost EVERYTHING.



my "plan" is to have a very clean driver, few subtle custom touches to clean things up... nothing too exotic besides stance and wheels on the outside. right now the 350 is staying, a 700r4 is goin behind that... eventually an ls motor will find its way in place.

the interior is where the big changes will take place... but more on that one later....

first things first.... needed to get it down to a more respectable altitude... also wanted to center up the front wheel and hopefully gain clearance to keep the stock ac box with the new 22's

frameZ.. 3" up, 1.75" forward




back on the ground to see what else needs done... frame rails are now 5/8" off the ground... BUT i havent touched the rear yet bag mounts yet... the diff still has 3" till it hits the existing notch layed out



and with the stock rollers... i have 1/4" to the blower motor


and here is a lil teaser for the interior plan.... not the typical impala swap
