slow n low babe

lol actually it was either a v8 or putting it on air, and i chose the latter

i drove it to oregon and back in june (2,250 miles round trip) and while the ride wasnt bad at all, even with a passenger, it just isnt even remotely the same ride like my buddy's truck that we took to arizona in february. plus it'll go up and down..?

Today's fun project.
89-90 Caprice, with a 72 Olds engine.

the guy wants me to wire it up so it will run without the Electronics, and still use the Stock ignition.
Sure I only need.. what 3 wires, but whats the easiest/cheapest way?

shop owner texted me a couple progress pics yesterday

front setup tacked into place:




and one of the front almost laid out:




it'll lay as soon as i figure out what i wanna do -- it's binding on the upper balljoint. so it's either run a uniball which is going to cost me quite a bit more or pic-cut the upper arm

i'm having it setup for 22's - just in case........
