New gasser axle custom built by HAMB'er

WAC are you saying you are going to build a front clip to sell for an early Nova?
Hope so cause I'm getting ready to gasser up a 62 Nova and really like your craftsmanship.

 

Yes by spring....
feel free to call me and get the scoop on what's in my head.

I now offer a bolt in upgrade to your speedway axle that comes with your BZRods front Nova clip. This one was made 48" (2"+) and gets a 2" .312 moly tube

Can you or someone else give me a short schooling on why you would run a dropped axle instead of a straight and visa versa? One with a "smile"? Is it purely aesthetics? I realize the dropped axle has the potential to lower the car some, is that the only reason? All this would pertain to a '57 Chevy 150 gasser type. Thanks & great axle porn by the way!

 

BCCHOPIT how's the Nova front clip that your working on coming?

 

Cause in 62' when I had mine made a dropped tube axle was a touch of class for your gasser

Plus I wanted my 37' to set level, then with the light front end and 90-10 shocks it would raise off up the line and be back level through the lights when it is most important to have your not trying to fly

Slower then I hoped.... customer work is keeping me Busy

I got the privilege of making up this cool 40" Tubed I-beam axle that will find a new home under a Anglia in Australia

Just found this thread. Excellent craftsmanship! Hope you have the nova clip soon. I'd like to do a dropped tube setup in my 64.

 

21/2" .250 wall moly tube anyone?

Little side by side of the 2.5 and my std. 2" tube end

Did you ever get things figured out on making the axle with the smile in it?

 

Still on the big list

I bought a big press and a huge die for doing it... just keep running out of time at the end of the week

Agreed on the job you are producing. Never going to by a Speedway axle again.

 

Ride hight.... Some guys just like the look one way more then the other

No real news on the nova clip. Fortunately I been very Busy making axles.

I have been eye balling the nova and I think I will also make a kit that uses the stock frame rails for the guys looking for that real vintage look.

New spring mounts for a buggy spring.
It’s always fun to reproduce a new HD version on a cool old axle

It’s going to be chromed like the old one so I cut all the brackets on the CNC to make it easy to prep for chrome

Old axle 13/4 thin wall tube
New axle 2” .312 wall moly tube

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing the detailed photos.

 

Hope to see mine soon. Definitely works of art.

 

I need to make you up a set of spring mounts that holds the spring in front of the axle right

Just need to finish up your brackets
