This is actually my bosses dads car! It has been built three times! Hopefully this time will be the last! It has been a long project and I think the quality of the finished product will be amzing!

Thanks for the complements I will keep posting as it gets further along!

I love the frame being the same color as the car. It does sit very low. Is that the correct height? Will it steer properly that low? Or are we talking air bags? R.P.

[Travis B]

Shockwaves on all four corners with ride pro-E
And ya it will roll with the car all the way down the frame is 1/2 off the ground when it is on the bump stops!

[ProTeal55]

Awesome machine , hopefully my 55 will be their someday.........

[Ralph LoGrasso]
