Car Crazy 81 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Your Builds Are Looking Good, Spike Keep Up The Good Work Keep Us Posted On Any Updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I gotta say Spike, the 41 is looking really sharp. Nice paint and louvers. For the 71, use the chrome axle with the control arms on it. Coil springs will work better with the height your going for. Either that, or re-arch the rear Leaf springs (build new probably). just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 thanks for the comments guys as for the rear end on the 71. the trailing arms on the chrome rear end were WAY off. i already cut em off, but the more i look at the kits rear axle, i think im gonna stick with that. and i already know how im gonna do the rear with the leafs, youll just have to wait n see though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyBad Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 You got way to much time on your hands. LOL.. I Like the continental package. Good plan.. For the Antenna, Cut the points off and add a drop of Super Glue. (I'm sure you already knew that anywhoo) Did you Dip your GTX in Clear? Looks Perty.. Shinie..
