Location: Victoria, AUSTRALIA		Here are some pics from Today, got home from 3 days of cool cars and hot rodding
cleaned the plymouth up and stuck her back in the shed till the next drive
was a great weekend maybe 1000 + cars invaded this town and only 2 x plymouths was great!

Location: Victoria, AUSTRALIA		Hi Teffany,
thanks for the kind words. Yep sure did, the only thing I farmed out some brake work.
Will get the seats and door trims done by a pro one day and get some proper carpet in there too!
is just house carpet at the moment - ha ha
just have to balance the money around no point blowing all my dough and then have to sell it to live.
In hindsight which is always said, I would have spent more time on the body and paintwork
it looks nice but compared to a car done by a pro there is definately a difference. but for my first go
its ok.

good luck with your install, if you have any questions don't hesitate to message me
I might be able to assist

Location: Victoria, AUSTRALIA		Thats a hard question, but you notice the wheels more when body colour
I actually like it more I think. maybe makes the car look fancier / prettier maybe if thats how I could describe it
but the wheel trims look bigger when silver. in the end I couldn't decide so I choose the easier option which was
to powdercoate instead of painting

thanks for the comments guys / girls

Location: Bama		You could paint your steel wheels red and pop those hubcaps back on for even a different look.

Location: Bama		The first thing I notice about your car is that it is lower than stock and that is a good thing. Your car really looks perfect.

Location: Victoria, AUSTRALIA		I don't know about the Red rims, looks great on hot rods, will see!
thanks guys about the comments
first thing I did was wind down the torsion bars I lov'em.
The back leaves are remade, stiffer and flater aldo have 1 inch lowering blocks too!

originally I had 2" blocks but the srpings where buggered.

the only thing with siffer springs is a stiffer ride but its still good

Location: Victoria, AUSTRALIA		I forgot to say, the car was lower overall but the new tyres lifted the whole package 1" higher
Still ok but was better when it was lower - haha

I had 185/70's before not they are 225/75's
and they look like truck tyres when side x side
