welcome from Arkansas! and don't let anyone on this site tell you how your car "should" be built, it's your car, build it your way.
heres mine so far [IMG]
I'm not an expert on this by any stretch of the term, this is only my first chop, so I might be wrong about about this, but I think it would be so...
spent the weekend getting high with strippers [IMG]
What are peoples opinions on shaving the drip rails? I've seen it done, and I kinda dig it. shoebox1950 has his shaved, and it looks good! [IMG]
I just want to thank everyone that contributed to the tread. I hope that I haven't pissed anyone off during this discussion, and if I have, I do...
Haven't gotten much done to the car lately, been down with my back. one of the perks of being a tattooer, and getting older. but what better time...
Like I have said before, I've seen both setups work, but if anyone has read my response in post #124, you'd know that I am re-doing the upper...
You're right, just because it works, doesn't mean its right. the same thing was said in the e-mail response i posted earlier in the thread....
You're right, the tab is flexing slightly, but keep in mind that this is an extreme example, I have one bag completely bottomed out. So, with the...
The general consensus I'm getting from those that are opposed to the setup I have, is that somehow by driving over a bump, or turning a curve, the...
I'm in Arkansas, and i'm doing a bonded title for my 51. You might want to see if you have that option where you are. also, my vin is very hard to...
I understand what you're saying about it being more rigid, the guys I've talked to that run that setup say the same thing, even though they've run...
I'm not looking for "answers", if you can read, (which I'm sure you can), you should go back and read my original post where I said "I would like...
im not talking about the link bars, I'm talking about the rod ends, and mainly the "pivot point". to me it seems like the pivot point should be...
i used the u bolts to keep everything square, that is roughly my ride hight. i set my pinion angle up at ride hight. but the lower links are...
I emailed a company that builds everything from 4-links to custom made control arms, and asked them the same question I asked here, and this was...
And another [IMG]
Here's another done the same as mine [IMG]
i think you guys are getting away from the original question. here is a pic of a different setup, (not 4-link), notice how all the rod ends are...
you understand what I'm saying, they both will bind with body roll. my 4-link has absolutely no binding with up and down travel, with body roll...
where will it bind?
Theres going to be binding regardless from body roll, but (to me) it seems that putting them at an angle, they're already going to be binding, and...
here's a pic of my 4-link, all of my rod ends are parallel, the first pic he has his rod ends at an angle to the pivot point [IMG]
are you serious? the "rod ends" are parallel, the bars are angled
I did a triangulated 4-link on my 51, but I put my rod ends parallel to the rear end.
I would like to hear others opinions on this subject. I came across this pic of a guys 4-link on IG, and I commented on it saying that I thought...
thanks
thank you sir
