Did you buy Randy's shorttail or is this one exactly like it?It's kind of a shock to see the lambo doors on this car.Should make a wild custom ride when complete.Keep up the good work.
I love those wheels!
You will be the first on your block to have a shark with that door treatment!

Wow- looks like you've done alot of work on it. Definately a different look with the doors. Look out Andy- competition. It will look pretty wild when done. Although- a little creative criticizm here- that thing sits like a 4X4. Are you planning to drop it a little?? It is pretty high.

dreamer, yes.......... I got this short-tail from Randy last april, and finally got going on it !
car guy, what do you mean "sits too high !" I'm insulted.......... I thought it was just a tad low.......LOL. Actually, Randy gave me the extended bolts for the rear when I bought the car from him --- and I installed them !!! Standard bolts are 6" and I installed the 8" ones from Randy, right now I'm waiting on the 10" bolts from Vette Brakes and Products so I should be able to bring the rear down another 2". I think that will do it. As for the front, Randy said he was planning on cutting a coil and a half from each of the front springs........ I figure I'll cut 1 coil first and see how she sits, and then go more if it needs it! The way it looks now, I feel I could install mud bog tires and go 4 wheelin'!!!
Thanx for the support guys............ I'm trying to focus !

If you want to lower the rear, quit with the long bolts and get you a 427 F41 7 leaf rear spring. that will bring the car down and make it handle better too. there is a guy on ebay that sells them repo for about $125.

Lookin' great Rick!!! I'm being a lot less focused than you are, but sure am happy you are coming along good on your project. The doors make a big difference in the way the car looks and will be a highlight feature. Keep up the great work and thanks for the pictures!!

Doing reat Rick, I realy like the pontiac style wheel's it suit's the tail light set'ing very well. And the door's WoW there nice.
Just wondering though did you shave the door "or" fender section as it recomened in most in most case's.
