Get LOW hahaha
Its low enough man, looks like you could bottom out on a bug haha.
Nice work on the rear frame, did you use a frame jig?

nah, w/ the notches they are 4 pieces so you plate the frame, then do the top, then you cut the frame out and that eliminates the need for a jig or anything.

thanks

Nice, its deffinatly lowww

A couple of things...
Definitly leave the 20s for that modern look but thats up to you.
On that third pic you really need to clean up those welds, take your time when your welding and make sure your welds are penetrating, looks like you got a couple spots that grabed by looking at the hotspots around the weld but its not steady. Im only telling you cause i do custom suspension work and i would hate to see the *ss end of your car fall out while driving around. So make sure evrything is solid before you put it back together and keep up the good work cause its looking sick. Ill be starting on my suspension real soon.

Sounds good at least you have someone to follow behind you to make sure its safe. Another option for wheels are doing some nice 19" wheels something staggered (deep dish in the rear) Im thinkin of doing some 20" staggered three piece wheels but reality hits and i can only afford one piece. LOL Ill have some update pics of mine tomorrow night.
