une voiture recoupée dont la coque a été descendue sur les longerons du châssis (channelling)

Explanation:
"Channeler : descendre la coque sur les rails du châssis. Le channeling consiste à remonter tous les planchers plus haut dans la caisse.
http://hot-rod.forumactif.com/technique-f20/lexique-pour-les...

"Channeling: In hot rod jargon, that's dropping a car's body the width of the framerails, then remounting it. That major surgery results in a very low silhouette. Floor space and seat height are effectively lost, but you look kool."

"salut tous j ai channeler un ford 31 et decaler le train AV que peut on ... de direction et boitier de Citroen HY ont déjà été utilisées sur des rods . ..."
