And how is it possible with what the front wheels and tires are outside ? Could someone explain it to me? Perhaps because of the geometry and the way of working of the suspension?

They are no longer outside, well inside in fact. The PO possibly had wheel spacers on it to line the fronts up better with the back. I would imagine in that setup, they would rub on a hard bounce unless the shocks were super stiff.

[QUOTE = Brett Jenkins; 17268226] Ya no están afuera, de hecho bien adentro. El PO posiblemente tenía espaciadores de rueda para alinear mejor los frentes con la parte trasera. Me imagino en esa instalación, que se frotaba en un rebote duro a menos que los choques eran súper rígido. [/ Quote]

I already imagined it, the normal thing is that with that configuration they rubbed with the fenders

I remember it from Frenzy. Great license plate!

Speaking of widebodies. I have a 1984 Jaquemond Clockwork Orange widebody but with the stock pop up headlights instead of those beady HID's that people like to use on the widebodies. This car is for sale. PM if interested. It is a project. It ran perfect before going to the body shop. It ran perfectly after the body shop. But it has been sitting in storage for over two years. The interior is out of it (but I have it) and the car needs some minor assembly such as side view mirrors (aero), windshield wiper, some glass trim, etc. It is the car in my profile pic.The description of this car in my signature is a link to an old build thread.
