Re: 57 NAPCO rebuild

The reason it looks so high is because at the moment it has 6" lifted springs in it - I will be using probably 3" or maybe 2" lifted springs with 33" tyres - the ones on it now are 35" so it will sit at a minimum 4" lower. I am picking up a set of 2" springs and a set of 33" tyres tomorrow so it will be sitting a LOT closer to the finished height once they are in.

Splash shields over here are usually made of 1/8" or 3/16" insertion rubber - no need to worry about snow in W.A. fellas !!!!


Yes it will have lots of Dynamat and A/C, even a heater ! it gets cold here too, down to single digits in winter- another advantage of the 59 sedan dash is there is a lot more room under the dash for an A/C system.
