Technical Can cars look too low

It's tough to take a good photo of a car while it is moving, that is why I like seeing them parked. Bob

 

Well you can always watch it move over to the trailer.

 

Some more of MY pics of the car BTW never seen it on a trailer.

 

1955. During an intermission novelty race this jalopy is racing without the benefit of any tire or a wheel on a 1/4 mile dirt track. It can be done and was done. Completely crazy but remember, this was 1955. Good clean silly fun. That's very low!

 

I like cars lowered a bit and usually I feel to each his own but, when I saw this 55, it made me think of those ASACP comercials with the sad looking shelter dog looking out from it's cage, just begging for someone to come along and rescue him. Or like a circus animal being forced to do unnatural tricks against his will.

 

I'm with HRP on this one, but I don't like the cat-in-heat look...

 

Love those traditional slammed rides with adjustable suspension.

 

So you’re agreeing yeah?
Plenty of goofy shit out there.
With understanding, planning, execution and realistic budget these things and more can be altered and still be correct and functional.

Which leaves a small group of people needing all 4 rare qualities being able to pull it off. They do exist! Sometimes it’s a well balanced crew that’s needed, they do exist.

Otherwise the rest of them are likely to build some damn goofy shit

 

Ride height doesn’t define “goofy” for me.
Plenty of traditional sitting (west cost styled) rides out there built as bad as some slammed stuff I have encountered.
My stuff ( current bus and step van build ) are built low. Meaning we did an alignment at ride height and adjusted how and where the suspension mounted from that. It’s not show car but well constructed functional.
Currently planning out a couple more projects. My 49gmc when started was going to lay body with modern components, plans and desires change over time. Current plan is having the axle dropped and lowered springs in the back. Simple.
Saving the adjustable tricks for something else.
All builds have a vibe or look. All styles look good to me especially a well built/planned one.

 

As a passenger in Earle's Merc at CCR 2019 I can tell you AGAIN that this Merc drives like a sportscar sitting low. If I was in USA and wanted bags done I think Earle would be the man.
