The rest of it is just fluff. If it had the original ride height, I would give it another look over.

Nice restomod though.

Nice restomod though. It definitely has a rake to it, if you look at the photos. It also appears to be aired down in those photos, and they are taken on a slope as well. BTW, Restomod? The body isn't restored, isn't that what makes a restomod a restomod...? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | I am certainly no expert in restomods, but to me it is a vehicle that is rebuilt to generally resemble the original vehicle and has had extensive modernization to the chassis and driveline.
Agreed resto, short for restoration, I assume, is a misnomer, but that is the phrase that has been coined nowadays for this type vehicle.

Agreed resto, short for restoration, I assume, is a misnomer, but that is the phrase that has been coined nowadays for this type vehicle. It's a modified truck, that's what I was getting at. Always thought a restomod is a stock appearing truck (body-wise) that's been modernized. Splitting hairs, either way. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | Great looking ride. Major $$ spent on this one for sure. I guess if Ridetech started the project it was to showcase their suspension products. Looks like a rake to the front ( running boards closer to ground at front ). I'd take it in a heartbeat ! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,084 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,084 | Me too Britcon, heck, Ole Carl's not fooling anybody...he'd figure out some way to get bags on it where he could get it up where he wanted it...and be waving at the young girls in about 30 seconds. It must be extremely hard to get an engine bay to look that clean. Would love to know how to do it.
