How The H.A.M.B has inspired Me....Pics

A thanks to all that have gave me the inspiration in the past year, '29 ford turdor, cut 20" from side window. 4" from the top. 292ci. engine with a six pack,T-5 trans. QC rear end. Home made frame

 

Sweet !!! but I think it needs wires on the front...the solid wheels don't do it for me !

 

Looks good, well thought out but I bet that ride will SUCK with those fronts !!!

 

Neat car. Don't wait a year to post update pics.

Do you plan to lengthen the pitman arm?

You're off to a good start. Keep us updated.

Looks cool. But I think you are going to have troubles with the front spring mounted to hairpins like you have them. When the suspension is working it will be twisting the hairpins. The front steering and suspension is going to feel mushy.

Never seen it done and I think it is really un-safe.

 

Also you have the hairpin mounted in single sheer and really, really to far of the frame. They are most likely going to fail or just plain old rip off.

 

Neat car, but I agree those hair pins are waaay to far away from the frame. In a perfect world they would meet at the vehicle centerline, just like Henry designed. Since we split the bones, or hair pins, you want them as close to the frame as possible. That tube holding the hairpin bolt is going to have MASSIVE stress in it.
I can't make out the front axle attachment but there was a post a month or so ago about the subject of mounts welded to bones breaking.

 

right click.......save as!

Great looking start!

That's a sweet looking ride. Can I ask where you got your quick change?

 

diggin it...I agree on the wishbones being too far away...gonna be badass when it's done...though I don't advise running the bias plywood on the front

 

HA HA HA HA HA HA! Oh man! I couldn't resist on quoting this comment. You killed me rufstoksilver!

 

I like it!
save the side pieces you cut out for a stretch limo sedan!

 

I am with jrblack30 on your front end and I dont even like the front spring mount to the hairpins. There is going to be a lot going on in that suspension that could let go.

i like the motor mounts

 

Regarding the front tires. Are they made by Firewood, Woodyear or Oakohama? Do you decide when to replace them by counting the remaining rings instead of looking at wear indicators. By the way, very nice car

 

so yer the sumb!tch that stole the wheels off my chariot then?... i want them back.


J/K... interesting ride... kind of a modified meets a vicky looking thang... and i dig the tri-power. is that going to be the final roof height?

 

thats a bitchin car man, i like it

 

Comedy^^^^

 

Talk about pizza cutter tires. Sorry, I had to get one in too.

 

Ok OK Don't you guys know that most Canadians run that type of wheel, there hard to find Ha Ha Ha

 

Thanks for the advice, I will go back to the drawing board.

 

Can someone come up with with a drawing of a bracket that will work on thoses hairpins it would be much appreciate.

 

I suggest to redesign the rear suspension ....
Search on here for binding suspension

 

I think that you cannot do what you are thinking with radius rods. Best bet is leave the axle where it is and find and use some Ford radius rods. They are strong enough to run a set up simular to what you are doing.

I am not trying to rip your design apart. I like radius rods and suicide suspensions, just not the way you have yours set up now. Run Radius rods and mount the spring to them, a lot of guys are doing it that way.

For the rear end comment someone posted. You will see some binding. To fix that just use articulating spring hangers, Posies has them I think.

 

Fancy spring hangers won't fix the bind
caused by parallel split bones on back.

 

way to go..the section job is killer..it takes a pair of balls to do something like that

 

Thanks guys...I was going to get a rear spring made to fit. as far as having ball to cut it up , ask the wife she had them for years..Ha Ha Ha
