I think a Cali or bulldog, lifted with big wheels and tires looks kind of neat. I would not want to try to drive one though. would not like looking up all the time.

Oh, I much prefer a little rake. I just find those bulldogs kind of interesting. I would not want one.
I need to find pics of my 1954 Ford coupe that had a rake on it. We heated the top two coils. That was the thing to do in 1959. I put a 1957 312 Thunderbird engine in it, 4.11 gears, black and white interior, painted dark purple. It would eat up the 57 Chevies. I was the first one around Longview to put bigger tires on the rear. The tire store thought I was nuts when I went in and told them I wanted 2 tires that they normally put on Cadillacs. The fronts were 570/15s, the rears 860/15. Oh, 56 Olds taillights and 57 Plymouth hubcaps. Removed the bullit from the grill, so it had a wedge shaped bar.

Going home from work yesterday, everytime I would turn a corner or sharp curve, I would hear a "thump" coming from the rear. Having recently replaced my shocks, I suspected a problem wioth those, but just could not believe it. Started to stop but decided to get on home and check it out there. I checked the drivers side shock, looked and felt ok, started around to the other side and checked the bed as I went around. Someone had put a golf ball in the bed.

Thats funny.Edit: I would have been a little more creative and put a couple in some PVC pipe painted it black and zipp tied it some where on the chassis.
