The car is a 27 roadster I am doing. The frame is just 2x3 tubing.

I just want to make sure its not so low it would make it a pain to drive. Now I need to figure out how low to go on the body. I dont know if I should go super low so I can step into it(fiberglass body, no roof), re-glass the existing door so the body stays stiff or keep the one door thats currently there although it needs redone, and try to stiffen the body to make up for the big opening now in the fiberglass causing it to be more flexible.

Nice pick, I cant wait to see pics. I hope to get one someday aswell.

If its in the dispatch this week. I have it but havent looked yet.

Before you were scared of being so low that you would mess up your engine/tranny if you hit something? Would 3" of clearance be enough? Car is not a daily, just a fun car for the weekends.

No thread hijack but what does a used trade in typically go for? Is it hard to find a compact used gun there?

I may watch because its pretty much the only time I actually watch sports on tv.

So I tore the whole thing apart today to finally start doing what I want with it. So Now I need to figure how to accomplish the low stance I want. There are 3 options available to me 1. use the frame as is get as low as I can with it so the tranny isnt dragging. This would leave me with around 3" of ground clearance but the body wont be nearly a low as I'd like it. 2. "Z" the front of the frame as well, I can get the body where I want it heightwise and I can ensure that the tranny has enough clearance. 3. channel the body over the frame. This will get the body low but leave the sides(fiberglass) lower than the frame rails, require a decent amount of work to redo the floor, but no frame cuts are required and I can have decent tranny clearance. But the lower I go the less interior room I have. My problem with "z"ing the front is I cant decide if I should do it in front of the firewall so you see the frame turn down or try to do so you wouldnt see this and put it back into the firewall and either sit flush with the firewall or completely behind it which could possibly be seen inside unless I try to put some sort of kick panel or its so far under the dash the eyes never see it. Also how much clearance does everyone feel is safe so I dont damage the tranny should I hit something? I know I am taking a chance no matter what but its not going to be a daily and the few times its out a year, I would just becareful.

My aunts goofy husband just broke their freon line while chipping ice off their heat pump. If memorey serves the heater wont work with this even though freon is for cooling. Can anyone confirm this or am I wrong? Thanks

I knew I did nothing wrong, I am a grown man with kids and a wife not some deliquant. I have no problem with officers, actually have a few friends that are ones and had the city of columbus not ran out of money, I would actually be one right now. There was no thrill I was after, I just hit the gas and took off. I have no idea why, it made no sense. If the cop would have actually asked me if it was me that did it I would have admitted to it. I think most people that run and are young just use it as an excuse. they have no personal experience to justify "being scared of the police". hell most have probably never seen anyone truly harrassed by the police. All they know is this is what their friends say they do(who probably have no idea why either) and being young and impressionable they do it as well. Its just stupidity teaching stupidity. I grew up in a bad neighborhood where friends would say they run if they see a cop. I guarantee they were never harrassed but saw a movie where people said they did it and there you go.

Seen that video alot of times and he got fucked up.

Sometimes you just run. I was always doing something illegal or would get me in trouble but 2 years ago I was driving home from tennesse and a cop on the inside berm motioned for me to pull over on the freeway. Without even thinking I floored it until the motor sounded like it was going to blow for the next 5 miles until I slowed down to normal speed. I was eventually pulled over and the cop sat behind me for 15 mins without getting out. Finally he waived me on without ever saying a word. I dont know if he couldnt positively tell if it was me or not. For the life of my I couldnt tell you why I did it. I wasnt speeding at the time, I had absolutely no reason to but I did it.

I believe we consider ourselves more civilized for the way we treat our citizens than Russia probably would. I am all for cops delving out street justice but unfortunately like Russia I would think it often not be done justly and reasonably fairly. Theres a reason why we here are judged by a selected jury rather than a single officer at the time of a crime. If there were a happy medium between well than now were talking. Truth be told we hide behind being civilized and thats what is allowed us to evolve to where we are today and I for one am happy with it. But I also enjoy knowing that we arent so far removed from our uncivilized ways that if shit were to hit the fan some of uscouldnt revert back to our old ways and get shit done. When I was younger, if a cop tried to talk to me(depending on the situation) I would automatically run. I was doing something wrong but I was a kid just doing what I seen other kids do. Luckily I didnt have the shit kicked out of me and put behind bars because I was a kid doing stupid kid things. My kids do stupid kids things I certainly wouldnt want my kids to have the same fate as that either for doing dumb things. If they werent mine, I would want to beat the hell out of them sometimes though.

It is human nature to allow our emotions to often dictate our actions. I agree its wrong what they did but I understand what is taking place in the video. You have many officers there involved in what looks like a chase(either that or alot of officers made it there unusually quickly). No different than a pack of animals on a hunt. Emotions took over. Take an officer who just happens on the scene, he probably wouldnt join in the malay because hes not emotionally vested in the situation. The same as a person who breaks up a fight, they dont have the same emotions taking place either because they dont care or stronger willed and they step in. There are alot of things that go into who we are and I think people expect police officers to act a certain way because they are officers but they are still human and have the same faults everyone else has at times. Theres a reason these situations get so much attention and thats because they are rare.

Some people are made to walk into a burning building to help save others and others are made to pray for miracles in a church. Nobody said we were all the same. You have here a group of guys that consider each other brethren and probably have a close bond. Add that to the mix with the catalyst of the situation throw in some adrenaline and you have this video. It doesnt happen everytime but it happens enough to wonder why seemingly stand-up officers are often caught behaving inappropriatly and over the top. No different than on college campuses when kids destroy their own town. Its a whirlwind of emotions some of them get caught up in. They wouldnt normally act this way but when the opportunity presents itself and they are in the frame of mind to allow it, shit happens.

Is human nature a crime? Its primal but still part of what makes us up.

Mob mentality. Unfortunately even in a civilized society it is where we come from and after hearing people who were involved in such acts often times they state they werent even aware of what they were doing, they were just caught up in the moment.

Cops are trained to deal with the immediate threat. Didnt look like the guywas much of a threat at the point of the video. Unfortunately people get caught up in the moment and cops are no different. Its unfortunate what happened, it wont be the first, it wont be the last.

Dolp reading owns me again.

How can you tell he voted against her?

Good luck. #1 is going to be hard to beat even though the baby looks like it could be that dudes baby sister.

I am with the "buy a beater" crowd. Buy something for a few thousand even if you have to finance it just to get you back and forth. It feels kind of crappy driving a junker but when you pull into your own garage with it, the feeling kind of goes away. It took me a long time to figure out that I had to sacrifice a little to get to where I wanted with buying a house. Looking back, driving a beater was well worth the payoff.

Havent used this in awhile. It was painted black probably 8 years ago. It could probably use painted again. I also have a boxspring if someone wanted it who bought the bed. It has headboard, footboard and rails. Price $30 or trade for? http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/wnaplay/DSCF6145.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/wnaplay/DSCF6144.jpg
