Duke Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 what actually holds you back from driving this thing later on? why not instead throw in some air struts that would adapt into a 510, im sure theres something out there, to get it up to a drivable ride height and when youre parked or whatever drop the dam thing. I mean whats the point in having a vehicle you cant even drive around a car show. it might as well just be a model then. not trying to kill your build or anything, just giving some suggestions. What's the point in having a car that looks cool and low when parked, only to raise it up to drive it and have it look lame then? (I have a thing against bags...) Quote Link to comment

hacked521 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 it can still be low, just a driveable low. trust me i know it would be nice to have as low of a look while driving but without dragging the frame, oil pan, and body off the vehicle you just cant do it without airbags, hydraulics, or air rams.

sssr20det510 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 You should knotch the body like 2 inches where the front crossmember bolts to it so the crossmember won't hit the ground but the rockers would almost be dragging. You would prob have to trim the tranny tunnel as well, but then it might be drivable that low 1 Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 . Finally got the 510 running........... here is the start-up video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IRc-M0P92U And a rolling video with the front suspension raised up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yasFGzl2FY0 I kinda like the idea of having the shiny paint hidden....... but if I ever paint the exterior it will be the same color as the engine bay..... and yellow undercoat.... maybe the floors too?

SIXTY-NINE-DIME Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 The new plan: undicided color for the whole interior.............. and a secret color for the driver's side........ passenger side will not get painted....... maybe a clear coat over the green... :) why?.
