Alternate suicide frontend?

does anybody have any info on what type of front end this is? i think its a suicide but what does it use as suspension as only the axle is in front of the grill and not the spring? and how does it work? some more pictures of cars with this would also be helpful.
thanks-kieran

 

The spring hangs from the wishbones behind the grille. If you look closely you can see the shackles... It's still "considered" a suicide front end.

 

maybe torsion bars?

 

There's an article in Street Rodder on that car a few months ago.

 

Gona be fun when the chassis rail stops after a flat tire up front but the rest of the car keeps on going driving the steering column through the driver's chest while the sterring wheel cores him like an apple. OUCH, scrubline, if you please.

 

If you design the steering wheel right it kills you instantly

 

Or you could just have a telescoping column, so nothing to serous would happen. jeese such pessemists..

 

bump....any more cars like this?

 

The builders have been on the board. One flat and you would wish you built the car otherwise. Ever skip stones across a pond?

 

Here is a close up of the suspension. Mono leaf with a push rod style shock setup??

 

Scrublines are soooo overrated!! LOL

Not me, no thanks!!
