That's actually quite surprising that the ride difference between those two is not terribly great. Another point for the split I-beam setup!...
Your car is part of the inspiration I had for my ideas. Of course, I contemplated the use of parallel leafs as the beam locator and spring....
I was not only trying to keep the front end pleasing to the eye, but use leaf springs as they are period correct and keep the front end simple and...
Also, I found this on @sailingadventure 's Belly Tank Build Update thread. Clever way to make a top-loader into a transaxle and the linkage is...
I also love the look of F1 dual wishbone suspension, but it looks out of place on much of anything besides a racer. Knee action is cool, but parts...
My mistake, I did indeed mean drag links. You wouldn't happen to mean this rod would you? :D She's Called the Zephter Special.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
This I did not know. I only ever found the one photo of the manual Tempest gearbox and passed it off as rare. The Odd Rod is killer, love that...
Now that is seems the DeDion transaxle setup is possible, what about the split front end? Do you think the geometry will work out?
I had a feeling inboard brakes would not be the most fun to work on, but I figured it did add weight and handling advantages and I'd be crawling...
Right, relocating the transmission is solely for weight redistribution. Where sprung weight is removed is the relocation of the brakes and...
Indeed, the picture I posted is a saginaw 4 speed bolted to a c5 differential as mentioned. The powerglide was the one mentioned in the quote....
Do you know the hamber's ID or have a link to the build?
That was one of the examples I came across in my research. I believe it's a winter's quick change with a shorty powerglide? I've also seen the...
Ok, picture this: the War just ended. It is now the late 40s early 50s and an engineer or heavy backyard tinkerer wants the latest and greatest in...
I like it! Looks good and adds character to the car.:)
YES!!!!! Now that's how it's done! Enough said...
Wheels are awesome. Good to see you are still pursuing making your own. It's also great to know that a new speedometer will fit the old face....
That Challenger is only just slightly nice... ;) In all seriousness though, kudos to your friend on his building skills. Back to your hotrod......
Spectacular... Love how the lines just flow. The '40 wheel also works quite well with the dash, like they came from the factory that way.:) A...
Wow, a leather seat to top it all off... :eek: That is just too nice. I have to say that your style is right on the money.:cool: I'd have to...
Fixed my welder and got some sheet metal, so now I can start on my car again.:) Dash project will begin soon... The maroon paint job is just...
I really like how everything you make has class and flows. Astounding.:eek: Also, thank you for wanting to help! It really is going to...
Would you happen to have dimensions for the dash? I intend to build one for my '40 Ford and it would be helpful to have something to go by. It...
I absolutely love the dash in your hotrod! I'm thinking of building one similar to it for my '40 as they are next to impossible to find. I need...
I know I posted not too long ago, but I just reread the whole thing for the umpteenth time over the past four hours, and I am in awe at what I...
Man, this thing is sweet! It seems like a good idea for a future project after the list of others I have. Nothin a little sheet metal work can't...
This build is awesome! The project is just so unique, it makes me excited!:D Seems I have a future project on my hands. Great build for sure!...
Just read this whole thread between yesterday and today and it is absolutely fantastic! Really top notch work! An inspiration to be sure!...
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I'm glad to be here. I like the Deluxe you drew ct1932ford, it reminds me of one of those sketches from...
Greetings members of the HAMB from Virginia/Georgia (depending on time of year)! After viewing this site for quite some time and with some...
