  • Justin claims this car has only 10,500 miles... I think he may have missed a digit. Either way, it's in desperate need of some love, so let's start with the suspension!
    Follow along as we install a Choppin' Block front kit, along with our basic rear setup, with Slam Specialties air bags all around. We also notched the rear frame to get that extra couple of inches of drop- let me know in the comments if you think the effort was worth it!
    I'll be sure to post a follow-up when this car comes out of paint- he's hoping to have it done in time for Slamboree next year, so only 10 or so months to go!
    Rear shocks- KYB part number 344097
    Short oil filter to clear front shocks- WIX part number 51258

    Very cool 🤙 I have a bagged 65 drop myself. I used my 78 fleetwood rear end with disc brakes and the 93-96 fleetwood front brakes bolt right up with an opgi kit.

      Getting it flat on the ground is easy when you don’t have to worry about the floor or exhaust- leaving it an inch or two higher than this car saves a ton of extra work!

      @@joseleon937 the wall thickness of that pipe is just about 1/4”. Next time he brings the car over I’m going to plate the outside of the frame around that spot too- I don’t think it’ll ever be an issue since there’s not much load to bear behind the axle, but better safe than sorry

      We had three come through the shop in the last year- two ‘65s and a ‘68. Definitely reach out when you get the car- I’d be happy to help you pick out a suspension setup!

      I matched the length to the stock parts- figured that would get us in the ballpark before sending the car to alignment.
