diymirage Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Looks great. Maybe a little high in the rear. Merry Christmas thanks, it is tad higher then i wanted it to be but i ran into a snatch i used the aftermarket rims that spike provided and when i had them installed the rims were recessed closer to the center of the car so they would not spin freely. i decided to install the rear risers from the yankee challenger kit to bring the wheel up out of the tubs i do think it looked better when it was a little bit lower to the ground but i was willing to sacrifise that for free spinning wheels (i thought the origenal stance was too low anyways: this is without the risers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diymirage Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 That looks real good and you got it done on time, I'm always am a week late . thanks i think the clear was still curing when i wrapped it up the whole thing took me about 3 weeks to build, pretty intense weeks what really cost some time was the roof, the kit got started as a ragtop so there was a tone of primer sand primer sand primer sand to get the vinyl look of. then i had to graft it to the body and that took some trail and error but all things considered i am really pleased with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
