Projects Middle school coupe (build)

Shopping Cart Rod... FTW!!!

 

What does that mean???

 

Well, got the cross member on today.

 

That looks cool as hell! But what about suspension rebound? The way it is set up it looks as if it will be a really ruff ride. With no room for rebound it appears it will be slapping the crossmember which would give you a lot of grief.

 

yeah ive heard that a few times, im not real sure how good or bad it will work? but ill just have to deal with it once i get a roller i guess

I'm not baggin on it, just curious. I've done a lot of suspension in my time in the shop and have never seen this before. That does'nt mean it won't work, it just looks like it will fight you on any road less than perfect. If it had more of an arc in the center so the leafs had equal room to travel up and down I think it would work a lot more to your liking. Design wise it is kick ass. But, I know you like to drive your cars, a lot!!

 

Yeah I think I may have to put some kind of spacer under the spring ?

 

I've been workin on it a little bit at a time lately, and it should be a roller by the end of next week. (I hope)?

 

looks cool, interesting to see how the suspension work out for ya

 

yeah im kinda interested in how it will work myself LOL. i think i have left myself some options if it does not work.

 

Here is some pics.

 

cool dude

 

Well folks it's official, it's a roller. The first few pics are the wishbones and the cancerous lumps on them are the spring hangers. It's the only thing I could come up with. Who likes it? And who Hates it?

 

That front crossmember looks a lot like the one on my T. Little bit different execution though. I like the progress. Can't wait to see more.

 

A little more progress over the week end .

 

that thing looks sick !!!

 

thanks man, i worked really hard on it this week, about 12 hours a day, iwas on vacation !!!

 

Now that you finished out the spring hangers, they look great!
The whole project looks like fun, especially when it's driveable!

 

WOW Cody!! Just WOW! Man take another vacation and finish it!! hahaha!

 

man if i had more vacation i would for sure. even though it was long hours it sure was fun !

 

This is what I'm thinkin for the wishbone covers, what do you think?

 

very nice looking. can you tell me what size rear tire that is?

 

Yeah it's a 750

 

Cool looking build! Nice work.
