521 Dropsun Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Yeah man. Road dots are a bitch when your rolling an inch off the ground at 70. They explode. Coat everything with white powder. They also bend sheet metal a little before they blow. I'll post a pic of my cross member that nailed one of the reflector ones. Quote Link to comment

airedout Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) Stick a fender on it and get some lifted pics, i really wanna see how much it lifts. Does it clear the tires????? What is the overall height of your tire??? On a side note, how well is it going to align with the front crossmember dropped???? Edited June 18, 2009 by airedout Quote Link to comment

What is the overall height of your tire??? On a side note, how well is it going to align with the front crossmember dropped???? i will get some tommrrow, lift isnt anything crazy,just enough to turn,was going to rework it to get another 2 1/2" but didnt want to do the brackets a 3rd time& also get into camber problems,tires are 195/70/14 in the front and 215/70/14 in the rear, crossmember wasnt stretched/shrunk so nothing should have been changed, just wanted room for the drainplug to do its thing Quote Link to comment
impala_631 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 that looks awesome all painted up. what color are you doing the body? plan on leaveing it ratty,but if it did ever get paint prolly just a basic pearl white with 50s style striping Quote Link to comment
