Nice ride height. Looks like you've removed the bed lip. Nice touch. I'll be doing the same soon.

that height looks good. Is it going to be black?

More L series power good to see! What's done to the engine? Or planned for it I guess, depending on how far along you are. I might be able to help out if you are looking for manifolds, carbs, or cams. I have a few goodies left from when my car was a roadie

 Re: is this low enough
Its hard to be sure without a direct side-on picture, but it looks to be sitting flat, or straight, if you prefer, & generally, for a road vehicle, it looks to be low enough.

Personally, i like some foward rake, not a lot, but some, particularly in commercial models, because adding weight at the rear, be it passengers or payload, usually means that the rear sits down. If you start out flat, the loaded vehicle looks to be dragging it's rear, & thats not the look that i want in my cars..

Foward rake looks good, & when loaded, sitting flat is OK too, but dragging the rear, now that looks crook.

Love the hoops.

That is the perfect ride height. Anytime the edge of the tire is anywhere between 5-10mm out or 5-10mm in (tucked) it's perfect.
