For Me just a few hot rod stickers and a number on the side is enough , this car has some newer idea's that go back to the UMP modified's on the sus. ,He plans on offering these cars to the guys that like to race dirt oval's ..Robert

Gotta respect that. It takes a lot of time to build a car. I dont know what its called, but I like how the shock and spring are separated. My Delara GN is like that and its one of the features i love...

When he raced real UMP mod's they called his car after his Last name ,,,Woody,,,, So it sounds like the Woody Modified , This is not his first UMP Modified that he has built ,it's just the first of this scale , With early testing they say when he hits the throttle the left rear raises up and the tire goes under the body just like the real UMP Modified does .that puts more traction to the rear of the chassis and pulls the car hard out of the corners ,He is going to do a video of it ,it should be fun to watch ,Robert
