Re: My 65 frame repair
So cut out hack job and began to repair and lower it the way I thought would be correct.

Then put in a CPP c-notch and boxed in the inside of the frame. Still a little worried that there is a lot of cutting and welding on the frame with a lot of heat over the years.

Re: My 65 frame repair
But got her frame all solid and then put in 5" drop springs with 2" lowering blocks. Then the front was to high.

Re: My 65 frame repair

Re: My 65 frame repair
HAHA
they went to so much more effort to lower it than just cutting one coil off. maybe they thought this would maintain the original ride quality. nice fix |
