    will that 4 bar rear allow the flex necessary for one rear wheel to roll over a bump?

    I can stand on the frame and get a pretty good bit of flex , it's the speedway 4 bar that they sell

    Four bar....buggy spring? I like your build, but wouldn't ladder bars be better for you applacation?

    Subscribed. I'm just up the road from you and interested in getting a tudor at some point. If there's ever a time you need a second set of hands on something, let me know.

    Do real pics of what I'm going for , I'm gonna channel over frame , chop 4-5" out of roof . Running 36 ford 16" wire wheels , up in the air with tire size and weather to run www or black side walls . Got a 350 /350 drive train to drop in here already . Only thing for sure is I plan to be driving it by June

  27. Do I see the wood support still in pillars, can you just cut them like that? Inquiring mind likes to know since I'm just about to chop my Tudor too

    I did not remove all the wood , I just cut thru it in the B pillars . I did not have any issues . Most of the other wood is gone
