    holy crap that thing is scary. Damn the passenger has to work the gas, i can see it now wfo ( my mom always tries to put her foot throught the passenger foot well in traffic) it'll probablly idle at 100 mph and some fool will want to stop and just poor the coal to her like a bat outa hell. OK just kiddin but it is a hella cool ride and just right for halloween to scare the bejesus out of some kids let alone their parents:D

    Very cool indeed!! It's mean with an elegant twist in the details... Can't wait to see this one finished!
    Best wishes with everything,

  14. Very cool and a slick way to handle the front dampening. I notice it's two different ways in the pictures. Has the shocks layed down in most pictures and upright in another?

    Man...that cantilever shock set up is, in the words of the great Frank Zappa, Titties and Beer!! So simple yet, 'shocking' in it's design.

    There could be some twist going on there... Will be fun to watch though.

    Love the detailing on this car so far. Really smart stuff there.

    I love the car. The front shock setup makes me think of a mountain bike rear suspension cantilever. Good idea. Is there a torsion bar inside the front tube as well..?..
    Sorry to hear the negative associated with the build, but the car does show the positiveness that is needed to overcome such things as cancer. I know. I am a cancer survivor, and now work in pediatric cancer therapy. Stay strong, and let the car be your release. That damn thing is going to release something for sure!, might as well be your negative.
    Stay strong, and as I have forwarded to others here (and have made some really close friends in the process), pm me anytime you want, should you need a different mind to talk to.
    Good luck,

    Rik Aguilera
