Opinions on Build/whats the best way to piss E body people off

So, first off, its your car, do what you want!

I will say this though-

-They make 1/4 panel patches for the lower parts of the quarter. They're usually around $100. As a guy that has done bodywork and fabrication as well, I'd have to say for the price it'd be easier/more cost and time effective to buy them. For example

-Don't flip the shackles. Its a ton of work, you risk messing up the pinion angle and warping the rear end, and should you decide to sell the car in the future its unlikely to help your cause. Instead, buy a set of lift springs. These can be ordered from ESPO in various lifts. Or, if you're on a budget, have the original springs re-arched to add height. Or use an add-a-leaf kit. A little extra spring rate is a good thing, and though an add-a-leaf will likely be more than a little, I still think its a better option than flipping the shackles. Superstock springs will also work, but then you're into getting new hangers at minimum, or doing a spring relocation kit because of their shorter front section and moving the perches anyway. This guy lists all kinds of springs on eBay, might be able to get you a custom arch, although he already lists a set of +2" springs for e-bodys

Those are just my thoughts, less fabrication and easier to convert back to stock if you (or the next owner) so choose.
