I think it looks good. Can't wait to see it outside, and a few feet away. But I have t agree with Mr. C about the additional 2" drop....I think it would be a mistake to go any lower.
Having live most of my life in Southern California, all I can say is this is soooo trite. Why not do it to a Caddy or a Chebby like most of the ones out here, rather than a really good looking car?!!! At least in this case, the tires/wheels do not appear to be way undersized too to complete the effect!
Thanks, I can't wait to cruise her down the road. Gonna be salty here for a while though.

Trite is a dick comment. That's how you meant it though so why am I telling you?
Thanks. I'm ready for spring...
There you go Ross.....now I know for sure you are taking pictures! LOL!
Careful with running fuel lines that may drag if you possibly bottom out and could start a fire or strand you somewhere.

In this instance I must come forward and say I will never tell anyone else what to do with their own car, nonetheless as someone who worships the fuselage design aesthetic this makes my skin crawl. I will say, however that at least it's not done half assed...the work looks like its been executed by someone with skill and knowledge.

While lowering is not my cup of tea either mine is just another subjective opinion. The car will look good particularly to the younger crowd and garner much needed respect for C Bodies. When you are done you really need to bring it to Carlisle in July.
Nope, I did it myself. ;)
Proceed with caution Ross. Speed bumpz and uneven pavement can and will bite you in the arse. If you do bring it to Carlisle we'd love to drool on it but stay away from the west end of row "A". Theirz some uneven pavement there that my left side exhaust argued with and lost last year. It moved that RR tip and the reversed flow pipe back to within 2"s of the rear wheel. Do you know what a job it iz to pull a 2 1/2" pipe 'bout 6"s forward without screwing it up? Hope tah meet yeah next July, Jer
Ouch, I know the feeling though. I recently had to replace a muffler on my Challenger after hitting a manhole.

Hi Ross,
I really like you.
It is good that you restore the Imp in your Avatar.
You won't hear any comment from me regarding the lowering of the 73 Imp.
If I can't say something nice I try shut up.
Enjoy your cars !

Hey Carsten, I would never lower a 73 Imp, it's a 72. ;)
I realize that my good taste is not universally shared on this board. Variety is, as they say, the spice of life though. That's why they make em in all shapes & colors...

I agree with the above absolutly.
And somehow I am happy that you do not work on 69-71 Fuselages ;-)))))

Freedom of speech may give you the right to say something offensive but it doesn't mean that you should. Especially when it's so easy to avoid. Carsten handled it just fine with no help from you...
