Beautiful paint job now that you have it fixed up Joe. Three pics back, it looks like the headlight needs to be rotated 180?

Thanks goes out to ALL of you who either dropped in on the build to look on or commented and encouraged me along the way. You guys are all awesome.

This one is now in the "Under Glass" Section.

LOTSA work going on with this one just trying to figure out how to get the stance right. After several days I finally got the front where I want it after sanding the heck out of the mounting pad on the chassis to get the upper control arm to sit further up. This gave me the scale inch or so lowered that I wanted and I may be able to tweak it just a wee bit more.

Test fit:

Joe...I'm currently working on this one but putting C1's "Shooting Brake" (aka wagon body) on it.  I have noticed in some builds that the suspension looked too high.  I suspect this is why you wanted to lower it just a bit.

Just for reference, how did you go about lowering the front and rear suspensions on yours?

You're right Brian. It requires a few steps to lower it because of the complexity of the suspension but the results are worth it. I'll put something together for you tomorrow bud.
