Oh s***! That thing looks stellar in white!

Nice drop on it too. I'm going to have to do something like that to the '67. I'm glad this thread was started. I'd like to see '66s and '67s that are dropped. I think ours would look far better losing even two inches up front. It's got big block springs in it now, and with the small block it sits too high (unless you like the pseudo-gasser look).

Atlast,
You shot that car under good lighting conditions. The background is very neutral, letting the car pop off of it. The area around the bottom of the car is a little dark, but most home-shot pics are horrible in this area, and yours looks pretty decent. There also aren't any glaring or wacky reflections in the paint.

Alan, VERY nice! There's hope for mine yet.
I agree the way those pics were taken adds to the class of the car, but that '64 is clean. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Don't have any pics of my car. Don't have a scanner, but I run 235 60 15 all the way around with a 2 inch drop spindle and the Hotchkins springs in the front and a 2 inch drop spring in the rear from CPP. I guess my drop is 3 1/2 in the front and 2 in the rear. My experience with velles is that you have to lower the front more than the rear to get that raked look. Chevelles have a tendancy to sit higher in the front. Not sure why, but may to help get the weight transfer during accleration. :D I have lower several trucks and you have to lower the rear more than the front. There rears sit higher in stock location.
