All back together! Aligned a little better. I still don't understand why the front sits so high. This is with 1/2 coil chopped out of the front coils.

The steering is all in but not quite aligned yet. I'm going out there tomorrow. Hopefully I will start rewiring the motor (which scares me, I've never really done electrical) or get the clutch linkage sorted out.

I've also decided on "side mount" heads. I'm gunna have to make my own. The exhaust goin under the frame isn't gunna cut it. It's too low.

I gave the Buick a wash also. It looks nicer than it really is.

Yep, 6 quarts. I thought maybe putting the raiator and shit in there would help but I can stand on the front bumper and it probably doesnt even drop an inch. Those shocks are stiff as hell.

originals. When I look at pictures when I first got my car the front sat higher in the front. I figured it was because all the engine parts were in the trunk and not under the hood. Now I guess that's just how my car sits.

I'm not that unhappy with it. It sits pretty level. I would like to see the front end drop another inch though. Too bad no one makes drop spindles for Pontiacs. I looked at chevy drop spindles but I don't think the'll work.

thats were im lucky, mines the chevy frame! Is there a way i can email you the pics of mine cause i cant remeber how i got the pics on here.I was trying but it wont work. When i take the 15s off and put the 14 inch rims and tires it drops an inch and a bit and it looks pretty good.Im still gonna cut the coils though,but my exhaust headers sit low also. The cars on the road but ive been having some troubles with it stalling after running for awhile (20 min. or more) Dont know if its crap in the gas tank or if the points are bad or the generator. Put a new coil in and its running and hasent stalled yet but i havent driven it yet for awhile and you know as soon as im far enough away from the house it will die on me and i will have to tow it home!!Thats just how it works!!

Looking good Robert! As far as the stance, I think that's just the way they sit. Mine looks to almost sit high in the fron but when you look at the rockers in relation to the ground the car is actually sitting pretty level. Might be part of the "widetrack" thing.
