Somehow missed this first time around -- your fabrication skills are amazing and your shop is quite nice. Going to be a shame to cover all that nice work up with paint!
Thank you for your encouragement As Master Tardel said, in his book. the Steering arm must have has a ratio of 0.85 to 0.96 per-report at pitman arm. For driving comfort. I must also align the drag link per-report the wishbone. Although my case was not quite the same ratio that Ford F1 housing. Only felt a road test can tell me if I should make a more or less long. Manufacturing a sleeve with inter conne 7 ° for the ball. Manufacturing of marble. Some heaters torch ...

I Just read this thread over for a second time, frenchjack your an extremely talented man. Your workmanship is first class, well done...
That is awesome! Did you consider posting this on the homemade tools thread? Maybe with what steps were required to alter it?
Thank you for your comments and encouragement, it motivates to continue @ bengeltiger: thank you, Why not, I have not seen this post. With the holidays of Christmas, more time in the Garage ... bodywork session phosphorique acide New quarter panel (not perriod perfect but the old are verry bad) I broke my piggy bank
Wow....don't know how I missed this thread. You sir have talent. You look like you are in the French country side. Where are you located??? It looks like you are in the south.
Great build, outstanding skills and craftsmanship !....one question, you are going to reinforce the hell out of the left side cowl section and VERRY SOLIDLY fasten it to the frame to handle the steering input loads correct?
I just found and read your entire thread. Great and inventive work Jack! It looks like you can solve any problem and create the tools needed to do it. For the guys in this country that complain how hard it is to find good old parts and how expensive the stuff is should read your thread and see how a real hot rodder gets things done!
To Flatford39: Yes in France, Normandy WWII aera near Caen. To Kingford: Yes I will have to strengthen, the first installation seems to feeble. I have never seen in real, this assembly. I try to watch the video or photo report of the rolling bones carefully
Thank you Vintagehotrods, passion and not just a fad. 27 years ago I built my first hot rod. EBay helps me a lot, for parts, with the inter net is easier. I built the hot rod of my wildest dreams. With pieces that I would never have expected to have in my hands. But for that, we must not remain the ass on the couch. some of my compatriots wait until it falls from the sky... I'm lucky my wife understands my passion and I can devote 300 / $ 350 per month. With in begining of the construction $ 6000. In more, I work my English, I progress (yes.. yes... ) even if it does not see in my answers. I read you, more easily. I finished this roadster and then I will make my first trip to the US.
