    Well, here is where it gets tricky. I wanted this thing low, but not to low to drive. One of the things that I can't stand is to see some one lower here grill shell to make it look low. You can spot it easily, if they have a hood. The body line will be either drooping on the hood or it will be so high on the radius of the hood close to the grill shell. (I will apologize now if I have offended anyone that has there car like this).
    So can you see what I have done to get my grill shell so low and my body line on the hood straight?
    I'm going to make up a term because I don't know what to call it. I angle channeled my body 1". At the front it is 1" lower than it tapers to 0 right in front of the rear tire.
