i used to go down to the hobby shops and buy cars to make lowriders outta them, you know like just slam them or prop them into a 3wheel or whatever, but about 5 years ago i purchaced a 64 impala at the hobby shop for like 30bucks and it had an electric motor in it to make the back or front go up. so i cut the rear axle to get a 3 wheel movement, but i am wondering how i can get the fron to actually HOP. if you guys know how i could do this that would be great.

if it's the RC one, there's not much room to modify it

I think thats the '64 of the first series of the Lindberg hoppercars.
