Hey, thanks man! Yea I'm pretty stoked with the stance I got. I'm sure someone might gimmie shit about how I lowered it lol. I used 3" blocks in the rear as the leaf was already below the rear. Up front I just heated the coils delicately, heating once and measuring at the fender and frame. Not the ideal method, I know, but its just temporary for car show season untill its bagged this winter.
I gave my baby. A little grille treatment the other day. The factory grille was staines and jus could come clean so I painted it satin black. Not the greatest but I can live with it.
btw. I did the same thing on my grill, then sanded all the horizontals with 600 grit, then 1000 grit, and polished. Everybody thinks it's a custom billet grill now, lol. (something to think about)
Wow man...that's sick...shit looks amazing! Might consider something like that this summer...your coach is so bad ass man lol jus sayin...evertime I see that thing I get a stiffy haha!!!
Agreed. Every time your pics pop up, I show the wife and say, "THIS is why I bought a hearse.". not a great deal I can do with an '81 in the "cool" factor, though, unless I put a lift kit and some 28" spokes on it!! Oh yeah! LOL. Maybe not so much.
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I finally took the plunge on bagging my sled myself.
It was about as hard as I suspected. About 12-15 labor hours. I could probably do it twice as fast next time.
The lowest point is where the rear swing arms pivot at. It sits about 1 inch from the ground. I suppose if I completely removed the rubber snubbers front and rear the frame would lay flat, but I feel better about the safety factor that It will still drive in the event of some kind of failure.
