Lol. Yes they do. They won't be covered up as of now cause I still am not done with my inner fenders got sidetracked. So I can look at them every time I open up the hood lol. I am ready to get them on and hit the side roads and throw them into a curve or 2. Plus a spirited run up interstate 40 at about 100 plus lol.

Yep moved it forward. It is harder to see it in the pic. I have showed 3 other people and they said the same as you. But in person you can see it really good. It's not so drastic it that it makes you say what in the world did you do.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

PB sure has nice looking parts. I would like to have some to just hang on the shop wall as art.

I've got one of their A/C delete plates doing that right now. It's almost too pretty to install.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

I managed to get another 1" of drop in the front with the PB arms. Not because of the arms. I probably could get another .5" before any rubbing issue on fender lip. So as of now I am 7.5/8 drop. Really like the look. And the PB arms are top dawg.
