Col... that car is stunning!!!!

how do you know how much strengthening is needed to stop the car from folding up when you bounce it about??? and is there a chance that the windows will break, or other things like that....

i tend to cringe just dropping off a kerb!!!

chatting to guys from the states helps as they have done this before, it all depends on how mad u wanna dance it my caddy was 3tons with all the gear in it and it rode like a new car ,hard to belive i know, the front coils are about 1"thich they are so heavy (hand luggage from california) there 4.5ton rated hopping coils.

it took six months to build it that was bare metaling the shell new interior 2 grand to cover the seats?? and the strengthening etc,
im going to sell it for 10 grand and build a better one,
