Hot Rods Do you remember the cool Model A hiboys on deuce rails?

@48stude Do you have anymore information or pictures on this one?

 

Sorry, I don't. That's a Tom Davidson pic that I saved from a thread here on the HAMB. I'll bet someone here knows the car. Bill

Great thread.

 

This is the stance I'm going for with my '29. Does this axle look to be more than a 4-inch drop?

 

Looks to have an original 32 axle that has been dropped. I would guess 2" to 2.5" drop on the axle. This is the only other picture I have seen of this car.

 

A flat crossmember, dropped original '32-'36 axle, Posies 1001L spring, and notched side rails will get you right in that ballpark.

 

It really doesn't get any better than this.
Except Casney's.... It make my peeper feel funny.

 

Mine's on 32 rails but you can't tell.

 

I'll add my humble turd. I worked hard to make it look so crummy. LOL! Casney's is tops for sure.

 

Dang, this car is nice!

Thank You, Rich B! I'm looking at buying a narrowed 4" dropped Superbell axle (34" spring perch center) from a HAMBer. I'll see if Posies has similar spring for the axle.

 

Not to get in the middle of your deal; but while a 46" axle is useful on a low full fender car, a 49" (or so) dropped stock axle or even a 48" aftermarket axle suits an open wheel car better.

Here are a couple pictures of the flat crossmember we make out of 1/4" x 2-1/2" square. It is full width so it welds to the inside of the frame rail as well as the boxing plate.

 

Rich B, I'll take the axle width into consideration. I hadn't thought about the visual alignment between front and rear tires. Thanks for the pictures.

Bttt for some more

 

I always thought this would have been a cool little roadster in it's time.

 

Why yes, yes I do, and I'm reminded of all of 'em when I look at mine.

 

Be proud Brian! Looking good
