Projects Martin Ford '32 Roadster build.

Very nice. Is that for more travel or to lower the car as well?
Looking forward to see the full front set-up.
Amazing workmanship as usual.
Please keep the updates coming!

 

Below is the fab of a member with a bolted lower section supporting rear torsion bars , exhaust system and with a driveshaft ring.
The removable bottom is just for exhaust and driveshaft access.

 

Just to get the idea

 

Thanks Hasty , I'm glad you appreciate my fabs
As you says , want the car 3-4 inches lower then my 5w and also get a great travel .

 

That is jewelry!

That is some mighty fine work you do.

 

I like where this is going . What are the spring rates on the bars you are using? Thanks Frank

 

Speechless.........................................................

 

Thanks Martin,I needed a charge.Now about those flight tickets..What date?

 

They're 1.050's and depending on arm length I be around 380-450. Thinking of making the length adjustable.

 

Summertime works for me

 

Hese an older picture when I were about to make the motor mouths. I use 2 plates bolted upfront on the block and they rest on top of the frame rails . Makes it easy to center the engine and adjust hight adding blocks between rails and plates.

 

A time ago I started the time consuming of cleaning up the block. After lots of grinding I realized how messy the garage turned out so I wait for a warmer day to keep grinding outside.

 

Excellent fab skills.

 

Sure, wouldn't want a GARAGE to get dirty

 

I know it's geeky I just ike it as clean as possible . Grinding cold rolled or heat rolled is ok but cast steel is really something else .

 

Working forward with the support for the rear torsion bars . This is for the backend of the bars . There will also be a 45 degree support from the top of the kick-up later on as there's going too be some major loads on the bar tubes .

 

You sir are an artist, love it, beautiful.

 

Dam they look so nice like they were "store bought" or something.

 

Tmfcracing,

Can you share your technique for getting your welds to looks so smooth? Like where you welded boxing plates in frame?
