2 days of work on the car...got the Grab-A-Trak 1" lowering springs with perches installed. Along with new front / rear bumpers. The survivors were too far gone. Also restored to original my side scoops. The previous owner painted over the mesh with body color paint. UGHHH that killed me to see green mesh. A BIG thanks to Something Special for the tips on removing the screens and pop rivets...check the pics they look great...to me anyways. No more reverse rake either....or whatever it's called. Nice and level. Local boy does good !

Fantastic

Ed, Those look great. Glad you made some progress. Screens look great, and I can't wait to see the new fog lights installed. Feel free to ask for any assistance or info. Would love to see a broadside shot of the car with the new frontend lowered look when you get a chance. Mike

Looks great! I'm just finishing up putting a global west coil over kit in my car. Need to post pictures. Those fronts springs are a real jem to remove! Anybody know where you can get replacement mesh for the side scoops?
