Rides SLIGHTLY stiffer than a stock one because of the smart car tires up front and the mini truck tires in the rear, I removed the bump stops and welded adjusters into the beam so its lower but has the same suspension travel as a stock beetle :) It rides awesome, nobody believes me until they go for a ride in it.

He probably Photochopped yours first. I know this stuff takes time. All in due time.

Wow, very cool! It just looks like it has absolutely no suspension travel at all. Nice work!

That's a pretty cool shot. How was it taken?

Pretty sure it was a camera. Possibly oil on canvas?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I wish it would run as good as it looked sometimes, haha! Its very temperamental, almost all the replacement parts are Chinese garbage and have to re-replaced often. I'm on my 3rd oil pressure switch now...

The shot was made with a rig, here is an example on Dons car how a shot like this is done. It can also be panned but thats a whole different game
