Man I'm diggin' the stance....whats the specs on the front beam? Who's did it too?
Also, did you get the rear down just with stock arms? |
thanks guys!
The beam is a 5 1/2 inch narrowed beam with adjusters and drop spindles. The beam was built by thesamba member Slowlow
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1093146
The rear is just stock plates notched. I have a set of notched extended plates but I didnt want to sorce different tosion bars.
The car will look so much better once I blend that front apron and drivers rear quarter. _________________ 1952 Zwitter

Hello sir. Great looking car. What color is that? Do you know? Hope you don't mind, but I have a lid off my '54 which I am not using... with nice patina. I think it is reed green. If it is a match I might be persuaded to let it go to such a nice project _________________ 1954 L227 Type 113

I appreciate the offer but I believe it is prairie beige. At least I hope it is, that is the color I bought for blending lol _________________ 1952 Zwitter
