Hi,

now the customizing of my 53" Special is nearly finished: pinstriping, lowering, fenderskirts, lancer-caps, sunvisor, red steelies....in october 08 airride to come.

Cool...I walked up to mine in a parking lot the other day and wondered how it would look a few inches lower...what did you to to yours to lower it?

**the-lowrider** · 06-22-2008, 06:27 AM

I`ve lowered it 2,5" in the front and 4" in the rear only by changing the coil springs. But that`s just the look for the season....in the end(october 08), an airride is the right solution for me.

By the way....after lowering it rides great.

Thanx...

Wow ! I like the looks! Clean, proud and polished - way better than your '56...

Well, I guess that rules out you visiting us until the airride is in ? (speed-bumps everywhere around here... )

How is your and your girlfriend's health coming along after your "crash test" ?

hey lowrider the car looks great. are your skirts and sunvisor repro or originals, and where did you find them?

**the-lowrider** · 07-05-2008, 03:42 AM

@maikl: We`re doing really fine and it gets better every day. I`m already working for about 4 weeks now.

@diego64: I got the sunvisor from a shop in texas(big jims) it`s a 50ìes original, but was produced for chevys i think. so we had to make a few modifications(welding etc.) to make it fit the buick. but now it`s fine. the skirts we`re made by a friend of mine...all real steel.
