Baja ? Not a baja. That actually was my intent when I bought the car. But once I had it, I couldn't bring myself to cut it up.

Not sure yet. I like the look of them lowered, but not slammed.

I kinda like the way Glenn's red '74 sits. (I'm not going to post a picture. There are already way to many pics of that car on the 'net).

Glenn ... from thesamba.com

He never misses a chance to post a pic of his red '74

Anyhow, I just mean probably a couple inches in back and front.

I got the engine back in my car with the new alternator and exhaust. I still have to put the t-bars on it. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Well ... I was driving home from the store today when the car started to lurch a bit. I had just enough time to *think* "WTF?". The car died, radio quit, smoke poured from the dash. Luckily, I was only about 100 yards from the house. Due to the weather, I've not had a chance to look real close but at a glance most of the fuse block is fried.
