I always thought fat chicks were only super’s. Here my 73 standard, 3” narrowed beam, dropped spindles and a spline or two in the rear.

Why is it every other dumbass has the front wheels inset like a John Deere Tractor.
Clearly this guy knows what he is doing, is everyone else just stupid?

Been on here long time for me at least. People are weird and think everything is a trade secret when it comes to suspension. For mine 3 1/2 beam and 1" spacers. It was only way I could get the 17"s tuck and not rub. Also it will be ready for disc down the road. Everyone I asked about my 17s said they rub, mine don't. My build thread has all the details and explanations. But to each his own and I like shocks 🙂

Clearly..
One thing I've noticed about any sort of trend is that they are a lot like sweets. One chocolate chip cookie is amazing. Two is even better. Three is good. 17 will make you sick.

73 Super….3 bolt struts static. Wouldn’t necessarily call it “slammed”, but the front sway bar mounts are 2 1/4” from the pavement.

This is such an impressive car. Truly tasteful flames, shaved drip rails, hidden trunk release and doors too. Studying the pictures of this build was like fawning over the pages of an old-school hot rod magazine. Right on man! Timeless. |
Wow…….thank you very much. My father is a paint & body man. He’s had two vehicles reviled at SEMA. One was for Ford Motor Company. He did all the work on the car. Most don’t notice the shaved drip rails. It’s subtle, but enhances the “roundness” of the car. Believe it or not, this was a very cheap project. Cheers!!! |
