tons of dope.

does that second to last picture look weird to anyone? looks to have a TON of positive camber

 

I'm not really sure what the deal is with the louvres on the front hood of the VW Bugs. There aren't any heat exchangers up there...

 

It might have its engine out for restoration, so no weight in the front.

 

Sporting cars of that era ran positive camber. Suspension design was a whole lot of guesswork. The car in question is a Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantique. If you look at Bugatti racing cars such as the Type 35, you'll see that positive camber was ubiquitous.

 

 

I bet that would actually handle decently if it was raised up a little bit. It certainly has enough tire, now it just needs some un-fucked suspension geometry.

It doesn't have that "I'm a fully-developed racecar" look, so I'm assuming it's still using all/most of the stock suspension components, with some braces and some adjustable parts that don't correct the fundamental geometry problems caused by overlowering.

And yes, I know this is Dope Status. I just can't stay quiet when I see a picture of a stance car pretending to be a race car.

 

 

I kind of want this http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/n...129160836.html
