I like that steering box installation. Very innovative, and shows you can go traditional on a boxed frame.
Very cool project! 34corner WAS an english company. Rodline today. I think you have an F1 steering box and no F100..... Michael
You can use a 40 ford (other years are the same also) pitman arm and ditch the ball end of the f-1's, just a sugestions. Cool project, ive always wanted to make a glass car look "correct"
OK, got my order cw moss today.... so I got the radiator in, radiator support rods and radiator rod firewall brackets in. mounted headlights. also put in new rear shackel bushings and vern tardell lowering shackels.
I totally hear you there, my excesive compulsive takes over and tells me both ends of the drag link should be the same! Lookin real good! jeff
Man, that thing sits nice- That is going to be one fine 34. I guess the "Boyd would be proud" guy isn't impressed? Some people just don't know what a Hot Rod looks like. And some are just Knobs. Keep up the great work! Dve
Ok, more stuff done today..... tail lights were installed, got my 6x2 caddy manifold and found and installed the radiator grill.
so I converted my model A to open drive a few months ago.... I had bought a open drive trans from a hamber and used it in the A so I thought I would convert the old 39' trans out of the model A to open drive for the 34' project. I found a tail piece and main shaft to change it to open drive and worked on it today... but after putting it back together the pilot shaft had a ton of play in it! I'm like WTF! so I can't find the problem untill I took it apart for the 3rd time and see the case has a huge crack in it where the main bearing goes.. so the only spare case I have is my mock up case with the big hole in the side of it! so I Mig welded it up and did the JB weld insurance for leaks and will put it back together tomorrow.
It's 3 am here and i can't sleep. You need to drag your ass out of bed and do an update. You can sleep after the car is finished. Just kidding, but seriously I can't wait for the next installment. This should be written up in one of the mags as how to turn a STREET ROD into a HOT ROD. Frank
Great turn around! One thought though, that rear coilover x member looks pretty feeble for the transverse spring, considering the weight is supported in the middle - the easiest part to bend. ?
