    What in the Sam fuck does that monstrosity on the shock towers do? Why wouldn't you just use a tower bar?

    ^ are you serious?

    lol. You must have no idea what a cantilever suspension is.


    Perhaps you may want to do a little research before questioning someone who has the balls to fab up some rad shit like this.

    Big ups to my boy Blandin.

    This car is actually very fucking awesome in real life. Seriously only has two seats, a cluster and a steering wheel inside. That's it.

    Really cool to see someone who is totally clueless as to what's "cool" in the car scene build a car. He's always coming up with some crazy shit. Being more of a "fabricator" than a "car scene kid" seems to make for some refreshing builds.

    edit: This thing is boosted also.

    From the small pics, it is hard to tell that its an actual cantilever. It honestly looks to me like the shocks are bolted straight to the shock tower, I don't see the cantilever arms coming through the towers.

    Its ugly as fuck. Other than the suspension in the rear (still dont see why...but w/e) and the exhaust coming out of the fender it looks like a ton of other cars all over the internet. I still dont understand why its "cool" to make a car look like its an old POS.
