Part 2 of "Is my car too low?"

John those wheels look awsome on the car.........really dress it up I can't wait to see it painted.

 

I love those wheels on your car John. Ward, still like those white stripes on that blue car. Thanks for the pics guys.
Dan
ps John, you down in da weeds man!!!!!!!!!!

 

John looks good...

Hey Ward no wonder you wanted me to take my front bumper off before I bring you my car.....does anyone in KY have a Maverick with a front bumper?? I too need to cut one coil out of my coils

 

I've learned the hard way the last two weekends about how much to cut the front springs to achieve proper stance. First of all I have 16 inch wheels, and a 302 no a/c. I had a set of both 6 cyl. and 8 cyl. springs to work with. Cut 2 rungs off the 6 cyl. springs and it slammed it to the stops. (Whooops too far) Cut 1 1/2 rungs off the 8 cyl springs and it put me right where I wanted to be. Learn from MY mistake and cut alittle off at a time until you get what your looking for. Once you cut them off you can't put them back. I know it's a pain to install and remove them so many times but you'll thank youself in the end.

 

Thanks guys.

Dan------- I live in the city, hmmmm but I have been putting yard work off for a "little" to long now. My neighbor is a bigger "pig hound" than I am. Once spring arrives I will get it cleaned up over in that corner and take another pic.

Also, I have a couple pics from ground level I will post as soon as my brother e-mails them to me.

Courier-----As far as 8 or 6 cyl. springs.....not sure, they look aweful punny to me, if I had to guess I would say they are 6 cyl. springs.

Todd---- Ward and I are both addressing the front bumper issue. He already has one waiting to be picked up and mine should be here in a week or two.

Country----- I have long tubes. Right now there is about 4 inches of clearance between the oil pan and the ground. It will be a little more with the front runners on there. If this was a daily driver I would not have it this low. But I am going to put a travel limiter on it...both ways. and I will just have to be careful when cruising....and has of right now it will never be on the interstate unless its on a trailer.

Thanks again.

 

Dan, you will have to forgive John for he is a redneck from way back. He thinks "in da weeds" meant you were looking at his yard and the trailer was setting in the weeds. I'm trying to bring him up to date but he has a hard thick skull and it aint always easy

John, "in da weeds"; 1) to sit low

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Damn! I am a redneck!
I also thought he was complimenting me on my "agricultural ability"......but my wife informed me he was making fun..........so I guess she is as bad as I am?

 

I don't think Dan was making fun of you, that would be politically incorrect for the vice pres of the famed MCCI to make fun of anyone

 

Todd, is wasn't that I didn't want your car to look different than mine, I just might have been tempted to steal your bumper, so better for you to take it off.

 

Ward...mine is a 73. Crossbred front bumper, not the small on or is it the real large one.

 

Mine used to be low.

 

here is a shot from the front...

 

It will be a little taller than that with the other wheels on it....but not much.
