    I saw this crazy lookin' coupe over on that monsterous picture thread and was hoping someone knew more about it. Original pictures were posted by "-juice-" on here. He didn't seem to know anything more about it.

    That things is NUTS looking. Not sure if I like it or not, but I can appreciate the detail and I DEFINITELY want to know more about that Hemi and all it's gadgetry!!

    Any info and minimal drama would be appreciated (if that's possible). If this has been covered already, delete this and point me to another thread. Didn't even know where to begin searching for a thread on this car.

    Looking at the picture properties it appears that it was built by someone named Kenny.

    Interesting car. Am I missing something or shouldn't that spring pack be reversed. Seems like the whole car is being suspended by the main leaf.

    The main leaf is unloaded from the pack in the top pic. Cool in a show car way. Impractical as a weekender.

    You're not missin' a thing....

    ...umop 3pisdn s!... :rolleyes:

    A coupe and one big a$$ hemi hanging from the main leaf. Curious about this...

    Seriously though, I didn't want to start in on the poopooing stuff, was mostly interested in the details. The car certainly is interesting to look at and the frame looks pretty crazy too.

    Those front wheels look like lightened up 20" truck hubs from maybe a Diamond T with MC rims. Clever ideas on that car.

    Sorry, I dont see a thing wrong with that spring setup. I agree that his shackle angles are wrong but not a thing wrong with it the configuration. The spring is incorrect leaf pack order for that app. And each side of the spring is going to work just like a quarter elliptical setup.

    Only thing I dont like is the fact he actually ran front brakes with those wheels. Buick fins are ***y, but they take away alot from those wheels.

    Crazy little car with mad huge horsepower, I like it A LOT!
