Default Old school CR-01

Here's my CR-01 it's the same color as my first LC back in 86 loved it. I built it by the book and slowly changing it up i ditched the shock set up and it's helped a lot also added limiting straps. Enjoy.

Looks great. So did you dump the cantilever setup or just move the shock position?

Default shocks

I took off the cantilever but left the torsion on. I moved the shocks as well. Put 40 wt shock oil and it tamed the torsion a bit. Thinking of ditching the torsion as well. Not thru with it yet.

I'll have to try that i built one for my dad to match a 76 he had and i dumped the torsion but left everything else alone. Now he wants it to be more stable with less flex.

Your right that's a classic color and gives you rig period look
