    You have some nice cars there. How many ‘32s do you have ?
    Did you have before and after photos ?

    Not a summer time job!

    Do you drop axles?

    ^^^^^^ That process looks easy but I bet I would ruin lots of axles before I got the hang of it.

    Some of @thunderbirdesq work in that Video. Andy makes it look easy, he does really nice work too. Im sure he has a ton of time invested in getting that good at it. Not an easy job to make it look easy and look right.

    Thanks for posting that informative video.
    That dropped 39 wagon looks great.
    Is it possible to drop an axle like that one 2 inches and also have the king pin
    center line distance shortened by 3/4 inch (total) so as to pull the wheels in a little bit?

    Yes in fact we do this on all axles destined for full fender cars and trucks. Typically about 3/4”-1” per side
