You have to start a project somewhere....

Oh man, GENIUS is an understatement

So I pulled out that T50 and today and I installed the 93 S10 WC 5 speed. Later,Bill

 

Shifter looks like it's in a better location now. You need to hurry up and finish this thing. I'm feeling a Lone Star Round Up trip next year! We'll even invite the chassis genuis to come along!

 

Update please....More pics......

 

H, Sorry nothing new an exciting to update. Normal life has just got in the way.
Bought my rear tires and I'll have the front ones next month (Coker was out). Then its blast and powder coating for them. I'll then be able to finish up the front bone set up.

Later,Bill

 

Great progress... is this the plan?

Great stance so far!

 

novatatoo, I was looking at the side view shot and the bones look awful close to your frame when you think about suspension travel, you might think about mounting them outside the frame, split them and mount them near the length of where your gear box mounts to the trans. You can buy the hardware from Speedway. Longer is better than to short.

 

jay, The bones are actually split already. I have them tucked under to give the appearence of being unsplit. We've had 450 lbs of man bouncing up and down on that front end and they didn't hit.

Later, Bill

 

450lbs of man is the weight of a motor/ trans. but the travel of the axle individually Lf. and Rt. upwards with the uneven road surfaces and leaf spring flex or there of is what I was concerned with. But I guess you thought all that out. Just all the years I've been viewing and messing with cars the split bones or radius rods have always been on the outside of the frame or at least parallel vertically with the outside frame wall. Not hacking your work just a comment, like your truck!!

 

Looking good Bill!!!

 

Updates?

 

man that thing is sittin good. the only thing that could make it sit any better is if it were sittin in my shop .lol i like it. ive wanted to build one like it for yrs.but ive never found a body close to home. keep at it.i really want to see this one rollin.

 

Great stance on the Tudor, reminds me of my buddy Gerald's in TN. Nice work.

 

Well actually the wheels posted above were a friends. I just got done blasting mine and sent them to the powder coaters yesterday. It'll look exactly the same.

Yeah I want to see it rollin too! Haven't got squat done over the last few months.

Thanks!

Later, Bill

 

Your build is really coming along! It looks great.

I got a little done in the last few days. Wishbones completed, painted, and installed. Wishbone rear mounts are only tacked for now until I remove the trans to get in there.

Later,Bill

 

Looking good!

 

Coming along nicely and looking really good.. I hope to see you, your lovely and your sedan in columbus... Later, Carl

 

Cool. It's gonna rip with the Nailhead, and look good too. And a lot of fun with the 5-spd trans.

 

Looking good!!
nice work!

 

Did you say were to start? The weight!! Then you can fiqure HP, Suspension, brakes
Cars must GO, STOP and go around corners. Many are built, few are engineered.

So I finally got back on the car in the last week. I never liked how the rear springs were squared off. So I took care of that. Plasma cut, grind, sand, repeat.

 

Looks good!

 

cool build!

 

Sits Right. Nice Job!

 

great start...

 

Progress........GOOD!!! Going to be an awesome car Bill...
