My car needs a paint job....and when it's started, one of the things I want is a tilt front end...without spending thousands....

OK, let's get to postin' those pics. You can't tease us all day now. :D I saw a custom C3 at the Orlando NCRS show that had a tilt front, but it was a HUGE $$$$ car.

I posted a pic of one I saw at Vansteel a couple months ago. You have to lift the car to open the hood fully.

ok, I just got my pics burned on a CD. If I could do computers as well as a vette, I probably wouldn't be on here. This stock clip with stock bumber clears the pavement by about 5 inches at the low point. It is stock. Mods to car are minimal, and if we can get this in a kit form, it will need an experienced body guy or a really good fiberglass person to pop off the clip and add some glass to areas to reinforce. It has been patterned for other we are doing. It is designed to remove and allow for resting in a cradle. Also, the stock hood opens also. I am not trying to tease, but it took another guy just to help me get my one pic on here. Gimme a couple of days and I'll get some here or in a web-site and link it. :D

Email them to me. I'll host 'em, and if I have time, I can make a pretty webpage about the install etc.
