There are several channelled snails around but I couldn't find a story about how to do it. How low can you go? Door sills all the way to road (for posing, lifting up air suspension when driving)? Or is something limiting before that, wheels to the fenders, engine to to the hood or does steering wheel still fit inside the cab?

hi

Yep, the owner of this car was on here some time ago

it is mildly channeled (like 6 or 8 cm) and he did narrow the front of the shell which gives it a funny look Very Happy

This car is from Spain, the owner nickname is Oski.

The car is narrowed at the bottom part, so the door panels are parallel to the floor.

You can find a topic about it here: http://snail.s4.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?t=90
