It has the old twist style ford shocks. That car has always been sick. NAIL HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And thats how it looked in the fifties sept the headers were more agressive then.

From what I understand there's actually not much left of the original car, when found it was basically the body shell and part of the frame due to the fact that the previous owner had parted it out in the late 60s and stored the remains.

Regardless, what they did is pretty near perfection if you ask me.

did you see the exploded veiw of the torsion adjsters? I think it was like ten seperate parts. The dtails on thwt car are amazing.

Yes I did and "amazing" is barely even a start to describing the work done on that car.

You posted the wrong one, it's got too many doors.

HAHA

I actually prefer the 'Mour Door' versions

VW's seem popular on here.
