    A friend swears that when open it rests on the ground. I am almost postive that it is very close, but does not touch the ground. Can anyone confirm? Pics maybe? Thanks!

    Mike,

    where did you get the dual brake master setup? Looking to do that on a car I have.

    Regards, Jim

    If the road/parking lot were not flat than the nose could hit the ground ...so your both right!

    You never know what kind of shots end up really showing some aspect of the car that people are really curious about :)

    There really is a wealth of photodocumentary in this site :)
