Ride height is all screwed up right now. The rear of the car is over an inch higher than the front for some reason. I'm going to lower the rear about 1/2 inch and raise the front about a 1/2inch.



I should have the front set up finished in about a week or so. I'll get around to wetsanding and buffing the car because it really needs it. If the weather holds out I'll paint the hood today as well.

The guy did some what, but I have to finish it. The wheels still need a little work.
