I was there today for an hour or so, he was telling me about how he would rather put 5 windshields in than putting 1 chrome trim around the window. I alsways end up sitting up there for an hour or so shooting the shit. I worked for donnie when I was 18 for a few months stripping all the parts off the cars in the back that he didnt have tittles too. Donnies a good guy!

He had said you had been by earlier. I was running late because I did not get off of work at the time I wanted to. I usually end up spending some time there too.

I now have 2 3/4 drop plates on my car but the car has a little rake. I ordered some 3 3/4 drop plates to see the difference. It's going to be low low low. Hopefully they will be in and installed before I drive her to Dallas for the show.

Pics? let's see how it looks with the 2.75's on. IMHO a little rake looks good ;)

Where did you get your drop plates. Wonder if they are the same as mine? Didnt know there were height options. The black oval had them and I like them so I installed them on the ragtop pan as well. I didnt like the fact that I had to cut the shock mounts off the axle tubes.

Vw republic is where the drop plates for my car and your black car came from. I was looking around on their site and bam. A pic of Kansas was on there after the plates were installed.
