All righty then! Another 76 in flat black with some rusty doors.. Feels very familiar. Welcome, its a nice place to be new.
More power is always a good thing. Consider Sunset Orange Metallic, mine needs buffed for it to really work, but it looks good when it shines. Basic flat black works good too, and doesnt show the scratches as bad.
Strange that dropping a truck would make it unable to tow as well or as much weight. Had a C30 dually on my trailer behind mine and it pulled fine. It pulls my 4200lb GTO effortlessly, and you barely notice the street/strip Formula back there. Of course my trailer isnt poorly designed and doesnt need a vast amount of tongue weight to pull straight. Sure I throw a couple engines in the back and its on the axle, but it wasnt lowered right in the first place..
The problem with dropping it if you want it to move quickly is getting the weight to transfer rearward, and keeping the pinion angle usable. Too much power means too easy to spin, especially in a truck. When you lower it, the front end wont come up as easy, and the pinion angle does fun things that dont make for a quick launch. Not that it cant be done, it just needs to be addressed.
Cool idea and direction. Waiting with great anticipation of more pics..
