Tunnel chop=lower front end?

Post by ouvw2 »

One day I was checking out some adds on Thesamba.com and I came across a drag bug that cut a wedge out of the front tunnel and welded it back together to achieve a lower stance. Has anybody ever seen this or done this befor?

I've done it and seen it.. it isn't tough.. may not be an excellent starting point when you're just getting into paint/body etc.

Drop spindles may be optimal for your start out..

The search term is "Pie Cut"

They aren't doing it to lower the car. They are increasing the castor.
