Hot Rods Will this rear end setup work?

Hi All -

Will this rear end setup work? The stance seems OK but not sure if the articulation is correct.

 

you've got your big and littles backwards....

 

Day-umm

 

You need some fake rust added to disguise the wood..... Unless youre building a chevy!

Whats the real reason you have the rear end removed though??!!

 

No panhard bar?

 

How do you get power to the rear wheels.

 

With a nailhead, I'd double up the 2x4's and use screws and liquid nail.




So did you break the last one or what?

 

Broke an axle, while the banjo is apart I am switching to 3.54 gears, no time to work on the darn thing, and I had to move the car.

 

It's going to stop like shit!

 

building code calls for 4x4's

 

Yep the first good bump and grandma is gonna be picking splinters. And knock off the chevy wood comments ...John

 

Hey, those nylon straps provide plenty of flex!

 

no he needs a panhardwood bar ED

 

Nah, we old timers been runnin' them this way for years......................

 

LOL the fronts do all the work anyways.

 

There's an envelope over there on the workbench with some cash in it - maybe you could look the other way?

 

Screw and glue with a nailhead? Sounds wrong. Nail a nailhead!


I broke an axle, bought NOS replacement parts, and am also switching ratios. Bad case of no time, though, and I had to move her.

 

Your set up will work only after you change out the black retainer strap to Red to match the other side and equal out the load.

 

I was so conflicted with those straps - the black one screamed 'rat', and the red one 'cliche'.

 

I've seen worse than that in Ol Skool Rodz

 

LOL it would just be a lot lower
