Moved Trans Tunnel Up 2":

The transmition tunnel was moved up 2" to allow for proper clearance. This was the only part of the floor that was moved. (Click picture for Larger View)


Suspension:

The factory frame was cut off right at the back of the cab. Cool Cars Crew designed a unique tubular frame that ran under the rear axle.

3- 3 gallon tanks plumbed into frame once the framing was complete, the cool cars crew then incorporated 3- 3 gallon firestone air tank into the design of the frame.

After the tank were in place the bag mount were fabricated and put in place to start the design of our custom cantalever rear suspension.

Roof-Off & Door Shaved:

After many disagreement and long arguments about how we were going to cut the roof, the Cool Cars crew final designed on one style that appealed to everyone (ROADSTER).
