Static drop '72

Well the wife and kids were away this weekend so I thought it was a good chance to install my 3/5 drop springs and update "Bruce" a bit. As well pulled off the dated visor and window shades.



Started off with the rear and low and behold everything was locked up tight, breaker bars, heat, you name it, I eventually just cut the carrier bolts and got new hardware.



Then it was on to the front, driver side was a breeze, smacked the ball joint once popped free, good to go, well the other side was pretty much the exact opposite, that ball joint wouldn't budge I tried it all for a good two hours, finally gave it a good soak in fluid film and left it for a few hours, got a friends high quality ball joint separator and few strong wacks and it broke free, this is me having a coffee waiting for the fluid film to do its thing.


Buttoned it all up and this is the results, I have 18" Ridler 695's on the way wrapped it 285/35/18 rear & 255/35/18 front, and I think the wheels along with the drop will really bring Bruce's style points up a ton. Very happy with how it's turned out so far.
