Fuck thats cool. My grandfather restores model As so its good to see them getting some new tech. This is why I love restomods/street rods.

Thats very clever and interesting engineering, but not once in that video did I see evidence that the front wheels actually had any kind of suspension travel. Must be setup stiff as a racecar.

Also, you need to run some big wheels. This would probably not cut it.

given that many cars standard wheels are 18's it would work for a lot of applications, but I have to wonder what the upsides and downsides are. Could be very cool as it moves all the suspension inboard where its easier to control and would be a boon to packaging...but limited stroke and complex parts too. Hmm its thought provoking.

Interesting. I wonder if there is any anti-roll provision.

One other thing that occurred to me, though, is that if they go through the trouble of building a hydraulic suspension system, they may as well adopt a hydro-pneumatic system:
