Young Ed Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 Wow that cars low. Looks like any lower and you wont make it into the driveway anymore. Looks like you could use a new spring setup for the trunk lid too Quote
aero3113 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 Nice rides, I would say this is the right gang to hang with:D Quote
blueskies Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 ...looks like I found the right hood to hang in... Welcome, looks like your 47 is in great shape. I like the hard earned "patina" ..Wow that cars low... PhotoChopped? Quote
Young Ed Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 PhotoChopped? I was wondering the same thing. Its a good job of it if thats what it is. Quote
thrashingcows Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 I'm a newbie too...But love the stance of your car...maybe a little lower then what I would personally go for...but looks cool. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 Hi, and welcome. Does the Plym have air bags? Quote
mr63inaz Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Posted February 3, 2010 I wish it was already that low but yes it's photoshoped. My buddy Joe was messing with it. I do love the mother natured cured look may have to just clean up the interior and ride as is. Quote
mr63inaz Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Posted February 3, 2010 Springs are ok in the trunk I just didn't want it to fall on me when I was cleaning out all the crap from the trunk. Quote
Cpt.Fred Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 nice photoshopping, i have the same plans, but you won't get it that low without serious frame mods, i guess. i have been messing around with the suspension on my 40 and all i get is 3" in the back, 1 1/2" in the front without steering problems. on 16" rims, that is. otherwise you'd have a turning radius like the exxon valdez:rolleyes: if you get lower, please show me how:D but watch out for bump steer... great patina, keep it! and the vw is really neat, too! you don't see them too often anymore, even over here they are getting a rare sight.

Ya yo run into steering problems a lot when you get that low even in a vw my 63 bu has a 2 inch narrowed beam and drop spindles but the cool thing is I was able to get 4.5 brms from machine 7 over in your neck of the woods so I have good clearance. no bump steer as my buddy has with his 4" beam I will def try to post any project pics as I am just getting started in the hod rod scene ben doin vw's for like 20 years Quote

After blowing mystery oil all over the place I got the thing to turn over with the battery from my vw. with that in mind I said well what the hace I'm gonna try and get it to fire. He where are 11.11 my time a full trip around the valley to pick up freebie parts from my friends thanks freinds I now have spark the car turns over but still no big bang. Well maybe next weekend. I just read the post about vacuum leaks I did not even take into acount for. I need to make sure thats no my problem as well. I am hopeing my plugs are just fowled with mystery oil. so the saga continues. Quote
