Good stance?

Love your '68, and I had a 138 code 4 spd years ago.
I think, just FYI, that the SS front plate might be upside down?



That 68 sits way too high in the back!

Here's a shot I took without the blond distraction in front... (Oh that's Missy)

Need some opinions:
Do you like the rake better on the orange car (L60 higher in back, F60 lower in front) Or the black car (Same setup but lower in back, higher in front).

I really like the look of the convertible (it looks more day 2 ish, you would think twice if that car pulled up next to you, more so than the black car, the black car just looks almost too stock). Curious what others thought.

Thought I would get some comments on the stance of the black ebody vs the convert. I chickened out, and I am ordering new stock strings (vs super stock) to match the look of the black hemi car, and will lower the front end (more than the black car) to achieve the right 'stance'.

Rake looks great (orange car) if you gots the meats to take advantage of the rake and fill the rear wheel wells. That rake is classic day-two. However, you won't hear me complain about the black 'cuda look though! But, the level stance looks better if your doin' this....

I am hoping my little 340 can spin those L60s (but never like a hemi would!)! Love those pictures, been a while since I saw them! Yes, the level stance looks great!!!!!!

My vote - Black Cuda [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Unless you are doing a Day2 theme.

When I bought the blue one... the front end was lowered. Some moron cut one spring and heated the other to match. The car scraped and rode like crap. I installed new springs a couple of years ago. Before installing them I clipped a coil off each one as I didn't want the front sitting too high.

I think the rear sits a little too high.. Would probably be ok if it had some 15x10 Cragers out back though...
