Is it just me or does it look like both of these cars have those 'one size fits all' front springs? [:0]
I just hate seeing such good looking cars 'up in the front' when we all know they would look so much better the other way around~ or at least level...
all because someone thinks 'one size fits all' [V] BS- it's NOT true!!!
Other then that- nice lookin' rides!!! [^]

Beautiful '54 but the wheels spoil it. [xx(] If you must have aftermarket wheels, don't combine them with wide whites!Comment

The Avanti is a II. They sit higher than thge originals (Newman-Altman decision early on). The '54 does need Dick Steinkamp's treatment (cut part of a coil). I do like the wheels too, but the wide whites just don't work with modern wheels.quote:Originally posted by StudeDave57

The Rake is too high on my II. But, if I lower it about 1 in. ( no coil heating or coil cutting, I may have air filter clearance issues. My Edelbrock 4 barrell's chrome triangle filter & cover just clears the hood. Also, my temp is running about 180 on the road. Less air would get thru and it may raise the running temp, which I do not want to do down here in Hot & Humid South Fla.[8D]Comment
