Tuck lug nuts!

actually it is not that high off the ground. the car looks deceptively tall due to its width and curves. the bottom is 6" off the ground.
right now it is on stock suspension too. my boss made a few phone calls to sweden and got a hold of a guy that use to rally these cars in the 60's. hes sending a set of rally spec Koni adjustable shocks and lowering springs for it.
for Bonneville the car should be at least another 3" lower then it is now....so tucking lug nuts is a possibility
i still have to finish the whole electrical system on the car. it the stupidest concept ever.
check this out: this car was made BEFORE they used multicolor coding for wires. all the wires are solid and have only 6 varieties. there is no such thing as black/white in this car. there is black and there is white. lol.
oh the colors dont mean anything. on one gauge a red is a power and on another switch its a ground.
talk about time consuming work. the hardest part was that my boss took the dash apart and didnt think twice about taking notes or pictures, old people lol, and i had to put it all back together from scratch.
from this i have learned the names of colors in swedish though
i had to use a service manual from the 60's to rewire it after paint.
