    Tim what year did the first Y-Block come out?
     
  15. 1954 for the Ford. The Lincoln Y came out two years earlier in '52.

    Tim, you have way too much room in your construction area.

  18. Some progress made this week. Front and rear sub assemblies going together, hope to have a rolling chassis this weekend. :D

    lovin this build, just wondering what ratio of travel your going with for the front shocks? im building a 292 powered A modified, just wondered what you were going with? 70 up/30 down with the weight on the front?

    :)That's some eye-candy ! Good stuff. The only thing that would make the pics more exotic is an A- buggy style rear spring arching over a quick-change, but your not building a race car. What you have is very good.:cool::D
     
  23. Good progress. I hope to have a garage door up this weekend.

    I wouldn't overthink the shock thing. I could be wrong but I think the ratio numbers you are thinking about have more to do with a race car than a street car.

    Just buy some regular shocks the right length and go with it.
     
  25. That's right! ;) Thanks Larry!

  27. Ian Eliason at LiLow had a Frankland or Winters on show in a street chassis last week. It was streety and not over- the -top pricey, so he said.
