Nicely done! Me thinks it's just low enough and sits great when slammed and parked! Hope Danno remembers to air up before rolling out! Old timer around the corner from me was an early pioneer of bagging hot rods. He has a chopped convertible '47 Plymouth (beautiful oddball) that would sit on the ground. After a day of Natural Lights at the local Tiki bar, forgot to air up enough pulling out and...whoopsie! Danno's car is awesome and the work you are doing just keeps making her better! Go RAC Garage, keep moving forward!
Travis, what you need to get those bushings out is something like a pickle fork that fits the outer dia. of the bushing, that will force the bushing out as it's pushed in, usually with a hammer.
Another thing on upper ball joint clearance. The upper control arm goes in and out to align the front end. You cannot plan for the joint to always be in this position.
The only thing that gets to me more than the adjustable wrenches, and using pliers as a wrench or (even worse) a hammer, is when I see TH-camrs using CLAW hammers on their cars! You do you, Travis, and I'll watch the videos, regardless.... 😂
Travis, RE top ball joint gap: why can't you just move the top bolt up in 1/2"??? RE; Toparm strip. Pull the bushing out from either end then it'll just come up. Or just tape it.
Maybe there is a reason the parts are made the size they are? Engineering some call it. I get the aesthetic, and it does look good dropped, but it is totally impractical. You can't drive around like that if you want the car to stay in one piece. to solve the problem with shocks I would think you would need stiffer ones, which may not make for comfortable travel.
With my last 3 40 fords I was always worried about the grille chin when parking…..The ‘36 would worry me after all the work you had into the front nose….Low is always COOL until the cars nose gets bloody…..!

Can't wait to see how low it looks with that shiny new "bumper" mounted on the front...

You should research that ball joint it doesn't look safe to me you'd hate for someone to get hurt

Yeah probably but if you don’t modify everything and push the envelope you’re a square lol
There’s this new fangled thing they call grease. You should try it.
