tell me there's a link to a chrislib's build thread....or just tell me what he did to get that stance.
how much is that lowered front and rear ?  Looks like factory shocks in the rear.


Always liked 78's scary-ass cafe...threatening in a cool sorta way.

good work fellas
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

Not trying to be a butt but was shortrounds in one recently?  I could easily be wrong.  It may have been all the attention it received when he unveiled it!

He was in November's contest but didn't win. Not that he wasn't worthy, just that a little 400 got more votes.  ;D ;D
