We had snow in the mountains back in October. I could see it from a car show we were at that weekend. We dont get snow around here like we did a few years ago but we are due for a big one.

Stumbled onto a French rodder's forum today. Yes, French, and NO, I wasn't looking for a maid. Just dumb luck. Anyhow, I robbed a few pics.

Some are clearly domestic and may have been seen here before. My apologies if they're duplicates....

Hey Crank i lost the bookmark to that French site. Can you post the link here please.

This thing has a wild hydraulic-over-spring setup. Looks like a long lever/cantilever...

Love that coupe. I was thinking that was a Citroen suspension but it is different.

Sure thing E-man. I'll find it when I'm done with these pics....








This is from New Zealand. Caddy flathead and check his idea of "laying frame". I also have a video of this guy and the car. Stay tuned.....

Here's that link E-man. I don't know what else you'll find there, I just ripped thru their rat rod thread, I didn't browse around.....
