Projects My First Hot Rod!

Finally got the motor in! Looks great! Ready to get the rest of the car together!

 

Finally got the car on the ground with the new frame! Right now the car has 4.50 tires up front and 7.00 on the back. I'll be running 6.00 up front and 7.50 out back. Also, I only had 150 lbs on the rear cross member. Between the bigger tire up front, and the body weighing the back down, the car should get a little closer to level. Love the rake, but the cars sat a little more level in the late 40's.

 

Body is finally on! Lovin the stance!

 

I love the stance!!!

Picked up a nice set of 35 wires and an absolutely mint set of Lincoln brakes for the Roadster!

 

That's a great looking Hotrod!

 

Got the rear end set up with the Lincoln brakes and back under the car!

 

Fit the round back spindles to the front Lincoln brakes. Ran into a problem where the backing plates won't fully seat due to clearance issues between the backing plate and the top of the king pin. On a good note, it won't take much to get the tie rod in the perfect spot.

 

Installed the F-1 box and front Lincoln brakes. Back on the ground again!

 

Back on the ground with the Lincoln brakes and wire wheels. 6.00 tires all around, it'll be perfect with 7.50s out back. Lincoln backing plates needed some clearancing, but nothing too crazy. The front brakes require a spacer from Speedway to get the wires to fit.
