Not the best pictures, and I know you guys may poke fun, but here is my 1985 Cutlass hitting 3 wheel. Car has 2 pump 6 battery hydro set up, full chrome undercarriage and a good amount of engraving. Been my build for last 3 years! Figure its a good unique action shot for this thread/contest!

Rickdizzle - I’m not a low rider guy myself, but the pics are pretty cool and you have to respect the work that goes into a project like that. The body looks pretty square with only 3 wheels down - what chassis reinforcements do you have to do?
Thank you for the compliment. This car has a reinforced axle, adjustable upper and lower trailing arms, reinforced and molded A-arms with the uppers extended one inch. The frame has the rear arches reinforced and the battery rack in the trunk is welded to the frame. The battery rack acts as a bridge as it runs from frame rail to frame rail. I still get some mid frame flex. So I rarely 3 wheel. The key is having good body mount bushings so your body doesnt "shift" on the frame and cause issues. I built this car for show and street, im only running 36 volts to the front pump and 36 volts to the rear...what we call a lay and play set up. So im not nearly exerting the forces the guys do that hop their cars and "pause/power 3 wheel".
