lolife99, I didn't think about that. How much do you think I should cut off? I also do not want the bag rubbing on the pocket..

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Personally I would cut as much as possible. I can’t remember the total height but it seems like somewhere between 1-5/8 to 2 inches total height when done.
You might have to mock up just the cup in the a-arm to see how much too tall it is.
The shorter the better in my opinion.
I have tubular a-arms and I still think the ride height is too tall.
Much more than my old 5.5/6 static drop.

Also what brand bags are you using?
You can usually go to their website and find the correct ride height.
Then you’ll need to remember the pressure to get them at that height,... or with Accuair, set your sensors at that height.
Also have your front end alignment done at that height.

Been a while since I had an update, but I have one now.. I finally got my 59/60 Impala gauge bezels from the plater. What do you think? I am liking the copper plating look.. :metal::metal:

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

And here they are with the Dakota Digital VHX gauges installed. :metal::metal:

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Wow nice! I bet that cost you a pretty penny (get it? lol).

Panel is going to be a show piece when you are finished. Wont be able to drive it =)

Nice blue hub dial too Wes! :)

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Those gauges look awsome! :)

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

I like the copper!!!!!

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Awesome

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Those are so nice.
I guess you just increased your future polishing duty or is there a protective coating on them?

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Very nice!

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Thanks guys! It is definitely going to be a show truck. I figured it is a good way to advertise my shop.. I figured there is going to be some polishing on my part in the future. It shouldn't be too bad on these because they are interior parts, and I think I will give them a good coat of wax. Anyway I am excited to see my vision come to life.. WES

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Didn't know Dakota Digital did analog looking gauges, too. The polished copper is amazing. Totally outside the box.

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Thanks again. I wanted to see how they are going to look once installed so I temporarily installed them. I think they look awesome.. :metal:

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

They do look awesome. ...

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Been a while since I posted but I do have an update. I have started cleaning up my 5.7 LS1 to be fitted in my Panel. Not a big update, but I should be starting to roll again with it... :metal:

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

I can't wait to see this done. It's going to be bad @$$.

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Well it's been a while again. I have had some family issues to deal with, but I did manage to fit some tires and wheels on it..

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

They look good on there!

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Can we get some pictures and details on you tail lights?
There was another post talking about options...

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

Been a while since I posted about my Panel. I have gone through an open heart surgery and have lost my wife after a long battle in the ICU at Oregon Health Science University Hospital. That just took all the life out of me for a long time. I am slowly coming back around and now am building a Tribute truck for Beth. Anyway, some of my copper plated parts came back today and I thought I would use this opportunity to revive this thread. So here are some pics! WES

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

That copper looks amazing! I really love what your doing for a tribute truck for Beth too!

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
 

X2, I agree!

Looks like they did an outstanding job on plating the parts. Good to see this thread back at the top.
