Title: all the small things
Post by: Rocket Ron on April 25, 2009, 07:00:14 am
After months of mucking about I've managed to raise the front of my car by about 2” it made all the difference to the feel and ride of the car I cant believe how much enjoyable it is to ride in it now

It’s funny how the small things can make such a big difference,

like re-syncing  the carbs after a few miles and finding how much better it runs ( thanks boom boom)

adding dynomat to the rear luggage area etc etc

Go on, get out in the garage this week end and sort out that little thing that been bugging you for so long , you wont regret it 

here are the before and after shots

when i first got my car on the road, i used front adjusters that i put in slightly turned, this meant when fully wound out the front apron would touch the ground.  I also used a pair of stiff (and i mean stiff) toxic shocks.  This meant the car was like a skateboard.  It was funny driving along the motorways with the concrete ribbing, I used to watch the wifes tits bounce continuously until we rejoined tarmac, god knows how we didn't crash! 8)  She said I had to do something about it, so now it has a stock beam and dropped spindles, she still won't go in it because its too loud!

That does make a big difference, looks really good now, not that it didn't before, that car rocks either way. That color really looks good on a 67'.
Your right about going out to fix or improve the little thing and big things also.

Maybe I should wind it back down I love bouncing tits  ;D

ps try some Dynomat extreme, two layers of the mat inside the car over the firewall and the luggage area have made the world of difference, I'm buying some more at the end of the season to do the rest of the car . my wife doesn't mind going in it now, which is a massive improvement

Ron,

I checked on the website of dynamat but couldn't figure out which kit I should order.  Which kit or type did you order?  + dealers?  ???

Got my kit from Amazon. It was a 36 square foot kit . this sounds a lot but there is enough to do the fire wall and the flat bit of the luggage area and wheel wells twice

I’ve got enough left to do the roof once

I would say that to do the car floor pans inside the doors and the bit already done would be two kits 


Ps ta Fred and Racecraf
