When we decided to build a really low car, we realized that it would generate comments...some comments would include the "stupid" tag. Yes, it has air bag/shock combos that raise the drive height by 3 inches. When driving, the front axle is the lowest point on the car....just like a typical "hiboy" now.

Originally, the idea was to build a roadster using the Hot Rods & Horsepower steel body with the folding top because we live in Tucson and it gets warm (not hot like Phoenix). After looking at a zillion roadsters, we wondered why no one built a really low car; the Bob Lowe car was an exception. Now we think we know....it isn't easy to do with store-bought components. We are designing the suspension using SolidWorks so we see our mistakes before we cut metal.

Our opinion on the looks of a deuce may differ from others....we believe that in the side view you shouldnt see the oil pan, the transmission, or any other component except maybe a suspension arm. Also, the rear tire location is critical relative to the reveal and the diameter margin should be minimal. The current Troy T. car is a good example of a nice rear reveal. Just our opinion.....doesnt make all other cars wrong.

Other forums kick people for paying others to do some of the work. We are going to pay people because we are a group of design guys, welders, machinists, electrical techs, etc but NOT body men or painters......our car would look funny if it had a really nice suspension, etc but crummy paint so we are going to pay for quality......some guys are lucky and can do everything at consistient quality.....not us.

Anyway, I appreciate comments and suggestions, even if they are not positive.....the more a person thinks about a detail or a design, the better that feature becomes! Thanks.
