    You did this chassis so right, no doubt about it.

    Thank you!

    I stopped and got a small iphone photo shoot tonight after work. I'm still trying to line up a legit camera man, but these turned out alright. The fender came out okay, probably about as good as spray paint is gonna get but the gloss doesn't match the rest of the car. It came out a satin or flat-ish white. Anyway heres some pics, the last one is my favorite.

    that bushing at the top of the page is screaming to be replaced. lol

    I seriously h.a.t.e. w-bodies and I get to hear the song of their people (drone) all day long. So for me to not want to gouge my eyes out at the site of this thread is amazing. But then for me to actually like what you've done and have to fight my inner h4tred for w-bodies has to be some sort of miracle. Great work.

    I dont have the shorter dog bones, just the spacers that vinnie sells. I think they raised the engine about 1.5 inches? I think theyre the thickest ones and then you run into hood clearance problems. But i need to find out if i can run spacers and dog bones at the same time

Even with the spacers up front I get a little vibration sometimes and I'm afraid of chewing through axles. I already replaced the drivers side and now I have a feeling the passenger side is going. If you could figure out something to handle that then your golden.
    Do you have the shorter dogbones? Or are you just running engine trans spacers? what thickness? and do you think you could run thicker ones

    I decided to finally get those spacers on today. Then the length stud i chose was 54mm i think and was just long enough that i had to take the whole hub off to get them on. They're 10mm spacers and I also rolled my fenders a little flatter and pulled them a tiny bit. And you guys should be happy to hear that I have plans to try out painting the black fender tomorrow haha

    New rear fitment
