CLINIC: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO? Stance Profile & Wrap Up, Part 3

[@Archangel812]

DR. Cranky, I was just watching this video for more ideas on lowering cars and trucks, and wanted to share another lowering technique with you. I'm not sure if you have thought about or ever done this, but I was watching a t.v. show a few years ago where they were working on a truck, and wanted to lower the ride height without any extra cost. What they decided to do was to take the rear axle, and move it from under the leaf springs to on top of the leaf springs. It's a very simple change.

[@jessereynaga557]

thank you for all the great ideas on your clinics!!

[@DavetheModelMan]

Thank you Sir. Happy Building.

[@ratrodmatt1032]

Great vid Doc. Those 32 ford rats i keep building are a little harder to get into the weeds. These are the best tips ive seen for lowering trucks.

[@hectorbanuelos4744]

That's a very nice truck.

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

Just subbed to ur channel u have excellent taste in old builds trucks looks great

[@TheDartman2]

Great video Doc. I'm going to try this on my next model

[@kostasviper]

What an amazing idea?! The magnets I mean.. That means you can interchange wheels on your models whenever you want too!! Thank you Doctor Cranky. You are such a wealth of knowledge sir. Have a good day, keep the styrene flowing, and Keep Rocking!! :-)

EXCELLENT video Doc as all ways its going to nice one keep the clinic coming. Thanks' for sharing.

[@markjolyn94]

Great clinic Doc. It's like the limbo. How low can you go

[@rlpotts99]

spring cleaning does help with keeping up with tools and such because, we all know how tools and remote controlls like to slip off and hang out together ... !!lol... I wish you would have done the front and back on the same video... Thats some cool information .. Thanks DC....

[@CAPTIANKOLOTH]

NICE KEWL JOB D.C. GOOD IDEA I MIGHT TRY SOMETIME.. LIVE LONG AND STYRENE ...

[@BobBerardjr772]

Hey Buddy, gota change the subject, I'm building a GNX for a friend. It's came molded n black. Question is, should I b primed n black? Great video. It'll come in handy soon. Take care...Bob

[@connersewer1615]

Why not just cut the floor out and notch the firewall to channel the body down lower over the chassis, then it would geometrically remain with factory suspension travel and steering, I plan on doing one of these on my long list of WANT TOO'S but it would also be sectioned and chopped like Spence Murrays Rod n Custom DREAM TRUCK!

[@hustler1211]

thanks doc for the tip

[@markjolyn94]

Glad to hear that

[@samuelvasquez8170]

Thanks I will

[@DoctorDeadwax]

great clinic looking forward to your showing us how you lower your rear end :)

[@TheGeodoctorcl]

Fantastic build DC! I have a question. I have purchased one of those 2 part epoxy kits that come with one shared needle type dispenser. Will that stuff work the same? I cannot TY enough for this clinic. The tires I picked for my build I showed Badazcanadian when he was here in the office. They are so close to yours...spooky again sir.(separated at birth?) LOL You take care and keep up with the decongestants and good old Florida Vitamin C. That's a free Rx from the Doctor!:)

[@bigdee84]

nice video doc they just rerelease that toyota pick up and one comes with foose speedster wheels and the other which looks like a bonspeed wheel

[@mrmclaughlinbrian]

[@DannyFTP19]

[@mrmclaughlinbrian]

What about the first truck? the low rider?

[@BobBerardjr772]

Thanks pal, I'll b using an automotive paint."Black" so I'll get the auto black primer.

[@mrmclaughlinbrian]

What's the name of it? I thought I heard you say fujimi but I wasn't sure

[@FragNet0]

[@samuelvasquez8170]

[@DoctorCrankysLabRATory]

[@samuelvasquez8170]

[@boxbuyer2008]

Great video .kutgw

[@LTModels]

[@DavetheModelMan]

What is the two part resin?

[@DoctorCrankysLabRATory]

+Dave the Model Man it's a very strong glue you mix in two parts. When it cures, there's not way it comes undone.

[@DavetheModelMan]

hardware store?

[@DoctorCrankysLabRATory]

+Dave the Model Man Or hobby shop, either place will have it. I like the 5 minute epoxy.
