Hmmm ... ???? How many months a year can you drive your classic in Detroit? Don't they salt the roads there?
Yes they do, and a good four months may be more if you don't care about chilly weather..

the onley thing i dont like about your car is that its not mine. and i think you should reconsiter the location of your head unit, it looks tackey. go for the glove box.
location of the head unit?

Good looking car! I think it already has a good stance but if you wanna lower it a tad more, Id only do so in the front. The rear looks like its tucked in nicely, and the front has alittle room.

As to cutting the spring, perhaps half a coil...

Just a couple of nit picks, otherwise it is a beautiful car.

I would replace the monte with a correct repro.
Get an export brace.
I personally don't like the Edelbrock valve covers.

Other than that....great job. I'm jealous, I still have a long way to go.

Sweet ride! (I'd cut 1/2 coil off the front and be done with it...)

Actually I just went back to reread your first post and realized you didnt state you did the shelby drop. I would do the drop instead of cutting a coil, youll get about the same amount lowered but pick up some other benefits...

Nice ride. I remember running that air cleaner in the EARLY 80's. Tough getting old. At that time it would leave some dirt in the lid. Evidenlty it would hold the dirt in the foam but then it would drop out onto the bottom of the unit and of course into the carb. Have you had any problems like that? this was when I was stationed down in OK and dust was a major problem for me. I get real jealous of southern cars.
