i would call this a Hot Rod! i like everything about it, but i am questioning the front suspension and will just wait to see what is coming from it.

Depending on how he hooks it up, put in the 'later' front suspensions, get rid of the older springs, and brings the car down to about frame height without z-ing the front...

That's an IFS from a Monogram corvette kit. Just to show y'all the stance and wheelbase. I'm going with a traditional I beam and split wishbones. Not to worry I would never go with IFS on a fenderless car. Hahahaha... Eddie

Ain't no other way to it! Looks "experienced" to coin Jimi H's phrase, and I would not want it any other way. I am also curious about that front end. I ain't knockin it, cause I like different ways of solving a problem than just throwin "Billit" at it! A suicide front fork would kick ass, though! Perfect proportions so far, stop movin' it around and move it UP! In other words,"Get busy, son!"

Koool! Nice stance on that. Did you lop off the turtle deck in prep for a pickup bed?

Duane is correct about taking a sedan body and wacking it. No pickup bed planned just a kicked up frame and and tank. I'm building this in full scale. Oh yeah. -Eddie

i thought i was right Eddie because it has a little largerside windows AND, no trunk or poopdeck. that's exactly WHY i like this build so much; it's completely different(and better IMO).
