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

What springs did you use, front and rear?

Damn, that looks nice! Definately gives me some ideas for my own '53 Special. Looks like you kept the roof stock height, did you? On mine though, I'm thinking of taking off the stock hood ornament and front hood emblem and filling and leading that in for a smoother look. Also allows for more pinstriping on the front, but basically, yours in the look I'm going for.

@snake: Thanx for your really positive comment...makes me a little bit proud. First of all I was little bit scared of all the customizing and many guys here in germany told me not to do it that way....but in the end....i`m really lucky with it. You`re right, my roof is still stock heights, but with the sunvisor it has that little "choppy"-Look. By the way: Is the Devils Pit Car Club an official one ? Maybe I can be your first overseas-member ?

Here are the next pics of the airride:
