I'm afraid I have to agree. Don't get me wrong the tubes look cool but even though I have tube upper and lower control arms the ealy style DM's seem to blend better and create a visual "package deal. To me it seems the V3.2 DMs are a little too "look at me" and could draw the eye in an unbalanced way if that makes any sense.

That being said it seems like Nate is doing what he has always done and provided the customer with what they want and is willing to tweak each unit to the customer. Just try to find that in another product of this type in todays mass-produced stamped from china world.

I want that whole "LOOK AT ME" syndrome when I drive any of my cars. Sorry, no harm meant, but I thought that this is what most of this affection of classic vehicles is about. Notice I said "most" not all. Most also includes the love of that era of the 60's & 70's too. Rather it be a 68 C10 or a $400,000 Lamborghini we all want to be seen and admired. Just as the opposit if one was driving a Pinto...no one would probably want to be seen. To each his own though. That's the beautiful thing about Nate. He presents us with more than one model.
