It took awhile but I finally got some good qaulity. I had beed searching hig hand low for some help putting this customer stuff (brokenspoke) back together and the good help was inside all this time. Just kidding but I could not pass on posting those pics. As much as I stear them away from it I think I got two gearheads to hang with. If the shop door is open I seem to get some little visitors from time to time. Anyhow we got the frame out of the jig a couple weeks ago. Got the stock 32 front wishbone 96% straightened, the motor mounted, tranny, shortened the driveshaft and torquetube , made new mount for the rear wishbones, and bolted everything else in place. I really am happy with most of the turnout, Gonna end up getting a F1 steering box, fq front shock mounts, and with a sedan sitting atop. Gonna hat to see this one go since I would love to set my sedan rite on it for MOKAN. Bill (brokenspoke) is supposed to come get it this weekend. heres the pics Them danged ole three dueces Daddy I think she is firing now
Dang only the little dirty's could have kewl ass projects like that... all i had at that age was some piece of junk stock tricycle
Rusty that looks great! We caravaned to Austin with Bill for Roundup and boy was he all sorts of excited about his duece. Glad to see it coming along. Can't wait for him to get it back to Houston and getting after it.
Supposed to but I got alot to do to make Mokan. We will see. I think he will go either way with or without me. I hope to make it. Where's the horns at? Rusty
Looks great ! Didn't know that Super Bell axles allow for usage of the stock spindle arms - will remember that for the next '32...
slave labor, why didn`t I think of that ? I hope they have had there tetanus shot`s ! I bet there names are patina. and nailhead ? ha... look`s good rusty !
Lookin good with a team like your's it should just fall together. When I figure out this pic posting gig I'll show you my crew.
There actually 40 spindles and the axle was milled down to 2" boss to allow for the 32 stock wishbones. Rusty
