Not quite. I was looking to see how low the headers hand below the crossmember. On my car the headers are the lowest point in the car.

I was looking for a view like this for comparison:

Thanks

I've already upgraded to a full hotchkis suspension, springs, sway bars, trailing arms and tie rods.

eventually I'll swap out the control arms for something better

Perfect! Thank you!

I can see that you gain at least an inch of ground clearance with those headers vs. the old ones I have. Those are definitely going on my wish list!

I painted part of it ;-)

but mainly due to time

the car will be getting blow apart in a few years once I move and have room to pull the frame and do the frame right and a few other things

right now everything is very limited with my budget which got shot on the engine rebuild was planning to have the door reskinned this winter but dont know now
