    The perfect match of the rear tire radius to body radius just puts this one over the top! Well done!

    I think to many people miss that and end up looking like they're riding on skateboard wheels

    Because the rest of the world isn't as picky, retentive, and obsessively oriented as the few of us with the 'Tisms :)

    OR maybe it's just because taking one spring out, or putting one back in, getting the perfect tires, width of the rim, shock length, steering rod geometry, ackerman, fender clearance, body line tire relationship, air pressure, centering the wheels in the openings, squaring the ch***is, perch orientation, reverse eye, no reverse eye, juice brakes, spindle relationship, axle width........................

  13. I am sharing this from the “Bandit” thread. Overall it is a great picture - lifestyle, kid on a bike, hot rods, black and white, could use a dog maybe. Unique stance on the 5 window. I might not have built it that way, but I would be checking it out.. F3718D50-C392-4CBA-B4C9-1FE8CA9D95AB.jpeg

    In my opinion if you get the car a little too low and the tires too far up into the fenders it gives the car a skate board look Dan :cool:
     
  19. How does this translate once it is on the ground? Good camera angle, or *****in stance? 00EAAC4B-EE03-41B7-ADCF-1F5F64FCA636.jpeg

  21. How come the roof angle is so much different than this one? CF7A5DA1-6D92-4378-81C4-2CD38F136501.jpeg
