[stockcar4d]

[hotwheels]

Hellz yea man, looks awesome......

 

[ratdog]

Keep working, looks great. Yes the other build threads do get the motivation up, only problem is you see so much cool stuff you like and its hard to make up your mind which ideas you want to try.

Torsion bar set up. That's pretty cool. I haven't seen that one done yet.

What a great idea for front suspension.I love it.

 

[stockcar4d]
