That's actually quite surprising that the ride difference between those two is not terribly great. Another point for the split I-beam setup!...
Your car is part of the inspiration I had for my ideas. Of course, I contemplated the use of parallel leafs as the beam locator and spring....
I was not only trying to keep the front end pleasing to the eye, but use leaf springs as they are period correct and keep the front end simple and...

This I did not know. I only ever found the one photo of the manual Tempest gearbox and passed it off as rare. The Odd Rod is killer, love that...
Now that is seems the DeDion transaxle setup is possible, what about the split front end? Do you think the geometry will work out?
I had a feeling inboard brakes would not be the most fun to work on, but I figured it did add weight and handling advantages and I'd be crawling...

Do you know the hamber's ID or have a link to the build?
