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?

1953 Special Riviera 45R
1965 Skylark Hardtop 300-4V
1965 Mustang (in the family since 1968)
1965 Corvair Monza Convertible
1965 Dodge Dart 170 Wagon
1974 Pontiac Firebird Esprit
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.
Nice job.
looks just as good as that ol' 56 of yours.
enjoy this one to the fullest.

Gorgeous!!!! Outstanding
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" ?
A bad solution is applicable to almost every problem !
hey lowrider the car looks great. are your skirts and sunvisor repro or originals, and where did you find them?
@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.
KOOL! That's exactly what I have in mind for my '53. I'm getting skirts from Big Jim's but I'll have to check on the visor.
Life's too short, HAUL ***!!
