I love me some 4th Gen!
I also have one of these 4th Gen snowballs, but I think yours is even worse than mine. I thought having $50k into my 95 TA was bad, your engine alone is over half my cars "investment". That is one hell of a car though, and I wish I had that engine for my 69.

Ahhhh Mr Dragon ....Total respect for your 95!! I look it like we are the trail-blazers for next 3 generations that may eventually consider the 4th gen a "classic"

Thank-you.....it's fun to finally get into the meat of this build.


Trick to this is keep its appearance "stock" with slight visual differences. The work here is to gain an additional 1-1/4" of height. Might need a small shim, 1/4" or so, on the K-member.

More carnage from yesterday......

I need to follow some threads written by guys who aren't so detail oriented .........

OVRKILL - your build thread is one of my favorites! Thanks for the motivation.

In the interest of keeping the theme "clean", I spent a little time tonight putting together a few pieces that looked good in my head and have now finally become reality!
