The "perfect" stance
« on: March 30, 2013, 03:46:42 PM »
What is the best way to get this stance in the photo? I was planning to extend the front of my frame a little. Would I just angle the new section up a little? Keep the rear as is?

Yeah, looks like a pretty good angle at the cowl.

This is just a guess, but to me it look's like that was done with a high mounted front spring/axle, probably on bags to prevent scrub problems.

Looks to me like he did a backwards Z on the front frame section.
Love building rat rods, driving mustangs, and building websites.

Would "bending" the frame upward at the firewall achieve this look?

Yes, a pie cut from the top, angling the rear upward.
