I bagged my beater

[pOrk]

Excuse the dirtyness, I havn't had much time to do anything besides work. This was taken at a small graveyard down the road from the suicidedoors shop here in indiana:

looks awesome man!

I am not happy with the stance in the rear, it sits up higher then the front. I think when I get home I am going to plasma the lower strut tabs off and relocate them an 1 1/4" up.

But other then that, thanks :-) I still gotta figure out where I want everything in the trunk. Its just mounted to the MDF for now, but it takes up too much space the way it is.

Looks good, any pics of it "locked up"?

[Crawlin]

i think that "raked" look with the rear being slightly higher is pretty cool. I mean i'm not one into "this" aspect of our hobby, but can definitely appreciate the work it takes.

that first pic is badass with the headstone with the cross right over the pushbar.

Only have those 3, I took more but they didn't turn out. When I get back home I will get some more photos posted.

What does roughly cost to do the conversion. I maybe interested in doing my 65 Bonneville

A 65 bonneville has coil spring ontop of trailing arms in the rear, or leaf springs? If you dont have to build a 4 link, a f/b system is roughly 1000 bucks.

Eric, that thing is sick!!!!!!!!!! How does it drive all the way down? Does it drag?

Awesome stance imo. I love the bagged look on cars nowadays. I am trying to get my buddy to bag his 67 Olds, now that would look tits!

I need to take out the inner front fender wells to I can drive with it all the way out, and it doesnt drag yet. I plan to get the rear pinch welds DAMN close after I modify the rear struts, and once the drag blocks are on it will be on the ground :banana1:

Yeah 389... I really gotta put some effort into getting it back on the road before this summer. Brake booster or the master cyclinder is shot to hell. I've already replaced the brake lines. I'd like to do a new carb and intake and find a way to get some dents fixed on the bumbers.

[pOrk]

Do it!!!

[pOrk]

Woah, did a fast chop but forgot to re-size
