Dr. Low
This guy I met let me take some pics of his truck. You guys with bags will probably appreciate this more than everyone else. It was pretty cool to see it sit on the ground. He calls it DR. LOW :p

If you took those pics, could you do me a favor and find out what hood hinges he used.
MUCH appreciated. Thanks

Is that truck from the Abiliene area?? My buddy gets his 64 drag truck stuff powder coated up there & his last trip out there he told me about a truck he borrowed from some guy to make a beer run in. He said it reminded him of my beater & that it was freakin' low enough that he was 'railing'. The color & stance are cool in a trailer park kinda' way.

I would say if he plans to paint it and put rims on, then it would benefit from being chopped.

oh man, those rims would be sweet on there...and I personally hope he doesnt chop it, not to sound like an a$$, but I think they look so much better un-chopped, its just too much change

NSANE... pondering over a bodydrop? my hinges are from a old dodge. firewall mounted. a hotrod company sells some sweet billet hinges. i would have to find their name. his look as if they are mounted up by the cowl.
