Get yer minds outa the gutters....this is a FAMILY -Oriented site :laugh: GrittyKitty came down to meet BigRed on Sunday.....and two children of the 60's, seperated at birth, were reunited at the First Innagural LongIsland Halloween Bash.
What's with the difference in rear-end height? You got helper springs or air shocks on yours? And if so, do you need them???
I think GrittyKitty was Tuckin' his ittybitty Tail when BigRed asked if he wanted to go a few rounds :Brow: Actually....BigRed sports Factory stock springs up front that were take off a Stage1 car very early in life and shelved. I got them 8 years ago, installed them, and then went through the process of finding rear springs that gave the car a approx. 1" rake - front rocker to rear rocker. GrittyKitty is wearing, I believe, 35 year old original springs. There is a considerable height difference up front, I just didn't post that pic - but here it is
Though I do not a own a GS, I hope to one day join all the other '69 Buicks at an event to show of my '69 Skylark Convertible when it is restored. Looking forward to that day........... :laugh:
....and So are We :TU: We have a few formal and more than a few informal get -togethers' around the tri-state area every year. Stay tuned here and you're bound to hear about them. All are invited.... ....and it Doesn' have to be a GS to float our Boats - just don't stuff a motor in it where the distributor isn't up front where it belongs :laugh: ou:
...shouldn't the cars be facing opposite directions..... :laugh: Sorry, my mind was in the gutter. Lookin' Good, you guys had a great turnout. :TU:
That isn't much of a height difference. Wonder how much of a difference my car and Alan's would be? Here is mine and GrittyKitty:
C'mon out for our next Cruise-in and we'll see :beer .....if you leave now, you should be here in time for the Spring ShakeDown run uzzled: ou: :laugh:
I would be afraid that BigRed would pick on me and my stock 110k mile engine, with 2 inch exhaust! :rant: :laugh: I would have to stop at Jim W.'s first!
If any of you guys look at any factory photos you can see that the rear wheel well is only 1 inch or so above the rim. Mine is exactly where it was when it came off the showroom floor. Look at Chris's pic. It's about 1 inch above the rim. I think BigRed is on steroids. :laugh: :laugh: Plus them bigass tires. :TU: :TU:
Here's another I scanned right out of the 69 brochure. The convertible is the same. About an inch above the top of the rim.
