I know of one person that was able to get 77 material from them. something like this is best to call. could also do a search on google for factory or oem vinyl material reupholster auto. there are other sources and no... materials changed throughout the years

looks like SMS only goes up to 1975. Would the colors be the same for the later models?

2" drop spindles
« on: January 28, 2012, 11:49:46 AM »
anybody have any pics of your car with 2" drop spindles. I am contemplating putting these on my car but was wondering how they look and what effect they would have on handling/drag racing ? my thoughts are although it may look good, it may not be a good thing on the track.

They will put your lower ball joint almost on the ground with 13" wheels. You can buy them all day long on E-bay.

If you are going to use headers you may want more clearance. Most go under the cross member & put them so close to the ground you will bang them.... I am going to bring mine up some.

No drop spindles for the BEAST. 

Header and muffler clearance are already low.  Even with stiff shocks they scrape on suprise bumps.

wow, I should have known.  a 3.0 or 3.5" down pipe will have clearance issues I'm sure.  oh well.
