What are you doing op...

Body dropped...car? wut

This can go completely wrong and I love it.

agreed. super stoked to see the final outcome.

I don't want the motor sticking through the hood,, so I'm thinking golf cart motor and top speed of 18.5mph ...

.... I don't trust my welding practice to go any faster ...

Indy, stop cutting it and then you don't have to weld it!

Back when she drove:






then I raised the lower control arms 1 inch: ... and got 1" dropped steering arms to match the raised LCA's:






Then raised the X-member about 2", until the control arms hit the frame rails flat:





Now I raised the front frame rails about 3" .. so the LCA's are about 5" higher than stock .. and the WHOLE rear suspension/floor/shock towers/diff/x-member are all raised 4"

Only one thing left to do now I guess ..... :lol:

The welds will all get re-done eventually...






Well I guess these ones will get re-done 2 more times ...
