I plan to add side gussets to tab they mount on, to add side stability. Then I will construct the Torque Arm.
Update, I mocked it up (Tack-welds only)
Great pictures, thanks for sharing. Did you fabricate the Torque Arms system or was it a kit?
I agree and was under the same thought when I started this project. I will be running a almost stock Flathead and 3 speed top loader. So I...
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Few more question: Can I use Tie Rod ends to attach the Radius arm to the underside of the frame or are...
Thanks guys, I knew you all would be the voice of reason. I wil go with the original idea and try to get the bars as close together as possible...
So then why can I not just run these to the outer frame and then add the 3rd “panhard” link? Be a heck of lot less fab work.
OK so I’ve looked through past threads I notice topic has been talked about a lot but I could not find the answer specific to my question. I...
I am building a '26 Roadster very similar to this yet with a Flatty mill, the cost to build these can easily exceed the asking price on this...
Oh I agree with that 100% just hard to spend $700-1,000 for shocks ... I may punt and use 1950 Dodge tube shocks.
Thanks. I moved the rear spring cross member as I am using 1936 rear with spring behind axle, not planning on running fenders. Now I need to...
Got the frame mostly done. Just some last few welds to button up once I flip the frame over for final welds. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
What do you run for shocks in the rear?
Thanks for the feedback. Makes sense to tuck in and raise the rails into the trunk floor. I was so focused on A builds using the kick up this...
The cross brace will stay the issue is the rails that run on the sides.
So I have my 1926 Roadster build started, and I have the Model A frame on the frame table ready to cut the rear for the “kick up”. I am using a...
photo update on the difference I will need to stretch the A frame - Looks like 7 1/2" maybe 7 3/4" I measured wheelbase as it sits mocked up - I...
I am using a '47 Merc flathead. you can see it now "resting" in its approximate location.
well I just went ahead and mocked up suspension and placed body on. I used Inked Monkey's idea and well I have some cutting to do, I even mocked...
Looking to locate the '26 roadster body on my '29 A frame. Is there an aprox location for where the firewall goes on the A frame? I need to modify...
Hello all. I am looking to get new wheels for the '49 and have been running the factory stock rims. I am pretty sure the backspace is 3.5" -...
right next to my office... damn it! missed this.
how about this one, that was a lot of masking! Kinda dig it! Minus the goofy spider on the nose. :rolleyes: [IMG]
You may be interested in checking out this forum: http://www.flatheadsrus.com I was turned onto it by a fellow HAMB member... .
I dig the simplicity of this, nice work.
It helped, I am looking for these and your post may have just got you another set sold... :D
Great info on this thread... Quick question: Can an A spring stretch to fit on a '35 stock banjo rear? .
Awesome- thanks!
Thanks guys, keep the info coming. Looking over the '53 I will need to get new water pumps to mount to the A frame... Also if I run the 59A...
Ok so I am new to the flathead game... (so be nice to me please) Picked up a few this past weekend. I am building an AV8 frame to drop my '26...
