Thanks for the replies guys - spent today trying to figure out how to lower the front & rear suspension (in the original pic it was just resting on the front axle) - the frames been "z'd" front and rear and the front crossmember raised in the frame slightly in an attempt to get it down in the weeds - I think this as about as low as it will go.

Kyle 74 - I'm thinking of using a flathead with a Replicas & Minatures S.co.T blower.
Thanks for looking
Andy
