[Closed] PICS- Another cheapie I picked up that is probably the nicest '69 Chevelle in scale. FG model I

I'll have to check one out Billy. Thanks for the heads up.

And in My Favorite Colors

Im sorry I missed this one and it is a far better image than any of the Mints produced.

Me too LOL, I've not heard of that before.

I couldn't afford air shocks so...

... one thing I tried was using the bumper jack to lift the rear wheels off the ground, then insert a wood block between the leaf spring and frame. Rode like hell, but it worked until you hit a big bump and one block would fall out, leaving the car sitting all catywhumpus.

Not to mention jacking the rear up puts a lot of extra strain on the FRONT END!

I like my cars LOW n LEVEL handle better and look more sleek!

David, they still have them on their website for $24 plus shipping, get 'em while they last.

Phil, First I didn't say prey bar. Said crow bar thats 6' long. Besides you don't bend the spring.

You put the end of the bar in the slit at the end where it mounts to the car. Then it will take 3 or 4 guys to get it to reverse the spring in the down position. You both are right. 1) It will put to much on the front of the car. 2) It will ride awful. Take a look at a '55 Ford turn it over and you might under stand a little better where the bar would go.

Neither could I John. I used some 2" lowering blocks that was sold just for that purpose.

I got mine just a couple weeks ago

With that said, they put the box in a larger box with a few coils of brown paper "padding". USPS KILLED the outer box and the car box was also killed on the rear end. The outer box, the cardboard liner and plastic were all crushed. Car survived. I ended up calling after my emails went unanswered. They did send me a whole new box, inner, and plastic. I do imaging work for Marathon and other big petroleum, so it looks good in my office.

If you didn't notice, there is a Marathon tampo on the rear quarter windows. That's all the marking it has. no big fender tampos or anything.

68 ElCamino, 70 Boss 429, 73 F100, all good FG vahicles.

Especially if you don't want to pay big prices. I probably have more I can't think of.

That sounds like a very crude and dangerous way to lower a car. That bar could snap

And fly out from under on the highway etc.

Nooooo Phil you don't get it. You don't leave the bar in you use the bar to flip the spring from the up position to a down position. That lowers the spring but raises the car. If you have never worked on cars you probably won't understand anyway.
