Praise D' Low'rd

So my good friend Gary came over yesterday and helped me get rid of the nose high rake on my Coronet. Gary has a '50 Dodge Meadowbrook that is lowered 4 inches in the front and three in the back. He cut two coils out of the front of his. My dodge is lowered two inches in the back, so it only made sense to lower the front of mine three inches. Since one coil cut equals two inches, I cut a coil and a half out of mine. Looks perfect. Driving to work and back a couple times, I havn't scraped or hit the bump stops, a problem Gary sometimes has.

Here's some pics...

Another Project: 1950 Desoto Custom

I'm going to stay with the flat 6 in this one.

Street Rod Action Magazine

I came across this article recently. Reiterates pretty much the same things I have said. They drop a Small Block Mopar into a '47 Plymouth. A good read and very helpful. Click the page to make it bigger.

Virginia is for Lovers

My Dodge got here yesterday. I used Angel's Moving Autos. They were awesome. Definitely lived up to there reputation of being number one. Now it's time to get to work. The body is my main priority now. I'm going to be welding up all of the trim holes and such so look forward to those updates soon. I'm also going to to work on the front suspension, relocating the shocks and cutting a couple coils to even out the backward rake a little bit. Stay tuned.

Good Bye California

So, my Dodge is on it's way to Virginia. Don't worry, it's still mine. I am stationed in Norfolk. I came home on leave for a couple weeks to get it ready to go.
