Projects 1927 Chrysler build

Thanks for the comments never built something like this and it's a learning curve.

Well finally got to work on my stuff so a little update

Crude but you get the idea




Clamp time




Front for mocked up




For the bags I'm actually using semi cab bags small and seem to work

 

I think this was a 28, but it was cool while it lasted

 

Please step away from the welder! That "suspension" is about the most fucked up thing I have seen in a long time. Your ratrod is going to kill someone.

 

cobby...

 

Did anyone notice that Chrysler had hydraulic brakes in 30 and old Henry did not get them until 39? Now tell me again what is wrong with parallel leaf springs, formula 1 cars had them in the twenties, thirties and fourties.

 

You didn't just build your own rod end out of plate and bolt. Did you?

Seriously, please stop and learn a little about safety considerations on suspension components before going any further.

 

In the early 50's it was common if you had an early 30s Chevy or MoPar coupe with parallel front springs you always redesigned the front suspension to use Henrys buggy spring front axle, spring and radius rods if you were building to run non fendered. That way you would not be different. You had to conform to the standard Hot Rod look even back then. Very few people used early Chevy or MoPar cars because old Fords were a dime a dozen, even into the early 60s you could still find people driving Model A Fords every day as their daily driver.

 

No.... I haven't seen any duct tape yet

 

you might want to read that sign next to your tool box, it could be an indicator...
