I agree, You did a good job lowering it but with the smaller wheels, it makes it look like it's right back to stock height. (body wise) Good Job Pimp
PS,
You must be a big dude cause body is leaning just a tad on the left

Nice work pimp.
I noticed that the way the antenna is positioned it may be pushing the right side of the shell up.
As far as tiny wheels, you could get some putty and make the wheel wells smaller. Just a thought though.
I like the wheels. Small, but blingy. Where did you nab those?

I grabbed them off of a West Coast Customs Die-cast.
Yes, I agree that the wheels are a bit small with the body, but I really wanted to use them on this so I did. I lowered the tabs about as far as I can so that it wouldn't look like an SE. I figured if I lowered the body with those small wheels, it would almost look stock.
As far as the body needing some V-8 juice to straighten it out...I think I just put it on badly. I didn't notice it till I looked at the pics and really didn't feel like re-shooting.
(You guys know the quality pics I put up
, when I get some nice ones, I tend to leave well enough alone.)
When I do the photo shoot for my next entry, I'll re-shoot with a level body.

The video.
Its a pretty shitty vid, but hey, it was made by droppin' the camera on the floor at Bird's crib. No special lighting or effects, just some floor vid.
But I wanted to put something up. If I get the chance, I'll make a better one.
I need grippier tires for the front, but other than that it handles pretty damn good.
Here it is............
