Shelby drop?

That was one of the first things i did when I bought my project. Since it was a bare body was very easy to do now.
 
I did it the first time I rebuilt the suspension. I can't claim to have noticed any difference (except that it lowered the car a little), but it makes perfect sense and IMO should be done to all of 'em when doing a rebuild.

I've read that you can put the upper ball joints in a bind if you lower the car further with springs. Most aftermarket UCA's have compensated for this in their BJ mount.

Oh yeah. They were the perfect height for suspending my brake drums. I wanted to avoid removing them and bleeding the brakes.

As you know, crates have a million uses including: guitar amplifier stand, propane tank holder, and carry-all for record albums.

Every now and then SWMBO threatens to report me to Bezerkeley Farms and collect the $500 reward money.

yeah! you got all the cool stuff!
I did pick up a "Borden" milk crate at a flea market. Thought it was cool since that's my name.
 
I can do y'all one better. I have a wooden crate from circa 1950 that had 64 pounds of TNT in it. This wooden crate is incredibly sturdy and solid. Gov't issued, and used in 1978 in my oceanographic endeavors.

And no, TNT does not sweat and become explosive like nitroglycerin.
