He couldn't take all the excitement, he passed out after 30 minutes on the HAMB.
One day I'll have one of those awesome garagejournal shop build threads, but by the time I have the cash for that the hotrod will be done already.

How do you double up the transmissions so you can go slow enough? Did they make an adapter box or did you have to fudge your own somehow?
I tried Moxley's and Metal Express, they can only shear up to 1/4". I live in Cecil so Delaware isn't that far either. Let me make some phone...
It's a little off topic but relevant since I need both of these to move to the next step on my drag roadster project and I'm out of contacts to...

This is why I ask before I build. Thanks gents!
I wont have the transverse leaf spring to help me locate since I am running coils off of the arms, so I may make a rod later. Every one OK with...
With it being triangulated, using larger bushings up front, and it being an I beam it should have enough twist I thought. At least more than the...
The truck arms are pretty sharply triangulated so I will try to run it without a panhard first to see how it handles.
I ordered bushings today for the front that fit in 1-1/2" tubing and use a 1/2" bolt. I plan on making double sheer mount tabs for the front out...
Was a small car show in Port Deposit Maryland at the VFW. Less than 100 cars, but still cool to stroll around them for 20 minutes. 2 nice rides...
