Lowering a 54 Chevy...Whats my options?? (once again)
Ok, so I had this thread up, but I guess it got deleted when the site when downbut oh well, here it is again.
I want to lower the front of my 54 Chevy... atleast 4 inches, preferably 6. But the thing is, Im on a budget and I also want to keep the frame fairly stock.
So first I thought of just cutting the coils, but that will only give me a few inches at most.
Then I thought of a mustang 2.. but like I said, Im on a budget.
After that I had a crazy idea of removing the stock a-arms and cross member, and replacing it with a straight 6" drop axle, radius rods, panhard, ect... (speedway sells everything I needs for this)
I'd like everyones opinion on this, and what would be some other options to lower. And please take note: this car will just be a driver/cruiser with a 250 engine...so I wont need heavy duty/racing/polished stainless parts. Just something that will work.
Thanks.Im tired of all this arguing...
Its not a hot rod, kustom, rat rod, lead sled, gasser, and its not a street machine....its my car.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
