    Does anyone know what front bones are on Tom McMullen's roadster?

    Thanks, falcongeorge. I've always liked them better than Speedways because they have more holes and they are smaller. Looks better to me anyway.

    On a 32/34 Ford highboy nothing beats original bones with original tie rod ends attached.

    real lightening holes, instead of sleeved, neat. I have a t-bucket project waiting in the wings that calls for split, chromed and perforated bones.

    I have never seen drilled and sleeved bones on a race car, to me, I don't really understand the idea behind going to the trouble to drill lightening holes in something, then putting all the weight back with sleeves...:rolleyes: I know, I know, "hey! look at me! look at my mad metal-working skills!". Nope, sorry, still don't get it.

    I will probably use an A axle and bones on my t-bucket, its going on A rails, may as well keep it all in the family. I might change my mind if I find a nice '33/'34 axle at Monroe.
