    It looks like mostly the effect of the shackles to me.

    Everyone likes different "looks" for their car. Personally, I like nostalgic drag looks.... and accompanying noise, fumes, quarter mile times and crapola gas mileage. (y)

    But like someone above said, that car you have a pic of there would (IMO) benefit (eye appeal wise) more from a lowered front end more than any more lift in the rear.

    I made my car sit exactly like this vintage drag car does (which, by the by, I found on this very forum in another members pics archive).... has the same tire dimensions as well- though my rims are black like the rest of my car.

    I will post a pic of my car sitting like this one in a week or so when the motor is back in it....again.... lol.

    I'd agree to just dropping the front a inch or so. Otherwise it is a gorgeous car. But, please affix the center caps. Now for a little sidetrack. Has anyone moved the side view mirrors forward so that the leading point comes up to the leading point of the window? If so, how does it look? (Good, bad, waste of time...)
