Hey everyone. Can I build a chassis on an uneven floor? The back end is all done but I am having a hard time sorting out the front. I think I know how to do it from reading other threads, it's just that my floor is not level. My plan is to get my frame where I want it to be on the road, make sure it is square and true, then put the front axle under, load up my transverse leaf, set my caster then figure out where the back of the split wishbones will land and mount them. Is this possible on my uneven floor, or should I figure out something else? Thank you. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Ps: it's a 40 ford coupe chassis, transverse front leaf. Split wishbones. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I built my first rpu hot rod in a dirt floored garage, so I had to do a lot of leveling and shimming to get things right. Get some 4 foot carpenters levels and get the frame sitting absolutely level in all directions by shimming the jackstands with whatever is needed to do the job. Sometimes it takes a small piece of wood in a particular spot or even something as thin as paint sticks (I still use those a lot). It can be done, it just takes a little time and effort. Don
Wow! Thanks for the quick replies! The back end is all done and sitting on the wheels. I am just wondering if I can get my frame where I want it(tipped down a bit in the front) on the screw type adjustable jack stands, and then get my front end in place and that's how it will sit? It should be all lopsided or anything once everything is welded and I take the stands out. I'm a first timer please forgive me. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
