That seat is already pretty low. May have to sink the seat into the floor to get the top lower.
Bomber seats? DIY bomber seats aren't very expensive and light to boot. [IMG] [IMG]
That actually looks pretty cool even though it takes away from the speedster look a little. I'm all for extending the driving season. Glad I live...
That long? It doesn't seem like it.
I much prefer the vintage set up with no windshield, leather helmet, and goggles. :D
I like the dog bone rad cap. The flip flop is a nice way to go as well.
They were not quite 45 but far from 90. They had just the slightest hint of up turn from the spring to the mounts on the side of the bones.
I get what you're saying. Axle induced chassis flex due to limited axle articulation. That was my reason behind using the Ford radius rod bushings...
So what then, a four bar set up? I know if pins or bones aren't set up right, they will bind and/or cause bump steer really bad. Also, they can...
I never thought of it that way. My plan is custom bones on a tube axle. My son is planning hairpins on a tube axle. If I could find the right car...
I almost built a dropped tube axle once. Then I priced them. Unless the axle needs to be custom, an off the shelf unit is cheaper if your time is...
It's not on their website. You could use the contact link there or through facebook. I'm not a facebook person. They used to not have any issues...
Damn thing is smiling at me. LOL
When did female lose theirstyle and class? Didn't see this one posted. [IMG]
TN but I can't remember the town's name right off. Kodak!
That is one spartan looking rear. I do like that torsion bar set up and those brackets for the pins. At least those look like hairpins.
Pretty much cause they're cheap, easy, and look good most of the time. If I was building a steel car, P/U, or RPU it would have an old I beam...
My son has started parts hoarding for a 23 P/U roadster build. He is basing his build off of a stretched and widened glass body known as the Big...
Cutting, grinding, welding, using what you have on hand, making miss matched parts work from various vehicles, and topping it off with brushed on...
Is that a straight eight crankshaft? I can't see things so good on this computer screen.
Like it!
Happy day! My next suggestion was going to get quite involved. I'm happy for you that your bro's ideas worked out.
Weld a nut on it that's just a shade smaller than the stud. The heat from welding should also aide in backing it out. I quit using easy outs as a...
If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have thought it a period correct part.
True for sure. I figure if someone is going to roto a vehicle, they'll have a welder to take care of the bodywork. The whole roto idea for me is...
2x3 steel then cut and round the corners. I'm not sure I would trust wood unless it's doubled up, screwed, and glued with PL.
The panels and aprons should be pink, because wife. :D
Dats a nice Chebby.
If you have the ceiling height, a couple free 12 or 14 foot trampolines make great rotos. You guys spend to much money on easy to make tools to...
Those aprons would make good forward tapered running boards. :p
Separate names with a comma.
