Newbie syndrome?!!

[Agent 0071]

Hey guys what's going on new to the forum. I'm real excited to get with some other fellow chevy truck-ohaulics. Well first to start I'm 19 and never had any experience what so ever on the whole car restomod scene, I have a 1971 c10 long bed that's been in the family since new and I have a big desire to restore/customize it some. First I did all the body work in my back yard and to start off it was a huge step I used all the original sheet metal since I don't know how to fabricate just yet, and being it used to be a work truck there was alot of dents and spots that needed attention. But other then that it wasn't in that bad of shape it had real nice original paint it was sunflower yellow with the white cab but since yellow wasn't really my color, I'm looking to do the same two tone paint but with a dark silver light grey and white cab/ lettering on the tailgate. I'm trying to set up my garage now to get it all done befor next summer, but I also wanted to drop it in the time period I have been looking around for some drop kits online and so far I found one in my price range it's called "handling&lowering performance kit" from cpp. I would like the grand slam kit but it's alittle pricey and wanting the best I'm looking at the 14" brakes which is acouple hundred more. so Im opting for this handling plus drop kit. my question is has anyone used this kit does it really make a difference from leafs I would love a smoother ride with all the old school flavor and also if you have how much does it drop it it doesn't really say how much it drops it I'm looking for a 2 or 2 1/2 drop. I've heard if I wanted to do more you have to do alot of fabricating is that true? if anyone has input let me know
