Wowwwww!!!!!
I'm going to post this as another topic also, but can you tell me what your ride height is? Rocker to ground or? I'm weighing my suspension options and this would be ideal.

Thanks, Wes

car is at ride height in all pics... no bags on this build.

5" at the front of the rocker (lowest point of the car) and 6" at the rear.  IIRC, the height of the roof line is ~49"

Seattle Roadster Show this weekend.  A lot of nice "pt style" cars to check out.  Some good Mopar love too....  Two Hemi convertible challengers (one pushing 800 hp!) and a smokin' 69 Charger come to mind...

 The Challenger will go back on the frame fixture next week.  Updates soon!

Have you weighed it yet? That looks like an awful lot of tubing.
