Picture of the rear,since the wheels are all the way on now,still no engine and it will need to settle.

It should look pretty good.

Looks like it's going to be a tight fit even when it's lower, or is it just the angle? Either way, it's gonna look friggin SWEET!

From the angle shown in the pictures, it looks like you are going to have to do a bit of manual fender modifiying ;) ? Should look sweet once it has settled down!

His car needs to be rolled down the drive way to level out. But no engine weight is not helping. also no front suspensions puts a stop to that right now. It's lowered 1 click so it should have some negative camber to bring the tires in away from the fenders 8-)

It's going to look great Chuck!!

agreed. mine didnt totally setle in until after a few drives and def dropped more over that time. being that his is swing should def tuck the top edge in, especially since he went with the short axles. i bet it ends up tucking a couple inches of sidewall, which will look really sic!!
