Getting ready to do two projects both suicide style. One is a Ford Beam 3"dropped style, The next is a 30's Plymouth wavy Tube style........Could really use some pics on how others have done there's....Thanks in advance, Ryan
Did this myself now and NADA!!! Nothing relating to what this guy's asking! I'm curious myself and now you just shoot him down. If you don't want to help then don't reply, as easy as that! Why is it that this fight has to happen so very often where people can't give constructive feedback? Apart from his reply, how else did you know that he didn't perhaps already do a search?
Are you using the spring on the Ford axle above it as stock but with the wheelbase extended to use a "suicide" perch, OR mounting the spring behind the axle on batwings with hairpin radius rods or four-bar setup OR suspended between the split wishbones? The Plymouth/Dodge "wavy" axle can have batwings welded on for behind axle spring mounting and hairpin radius rods or a four-bar setup.
Was planning on doing split bones, on the Ford, and Bat wings on the Dodge. Yhea I replied to the guy before my search....If any body has some pics out there would really like to see some....Really curious on the Dodge/Plymouth, I came upon 2 of these axle's real cheap and fully rebuilt, one is a straight tube the other is a wavy...
VERY Fucking simple. Seems like the same question gets asked every other week. A search 2 minutes ago turned up 500 matches for "Suicide". If his axle has a 3" drop,or 4" drop,came off a lawnmower, Garbage Truck,or Zamboni,it makes no difference. Some people don't search,because they are not real internet savy,or familiar with the boards software. So they might appreciate a link,to the HAMB search. or Google Image search.Fair enough. Others are too Fucking Lazy to search,and want to be spoon fed,instead of doing their own research. How many posts like: "Show me pictures of red cars", "Show me pictures of painted wheels",or "Show me pictures, I'm too Fucking Lazy to search for myself" do we really need ? Make sense ?
Why do you even read the posts that you're so tired of? VERY FUCKING SIMPLE! YOU WANT TO BE ANAL THAT'S ALL! Enough said...people like you are not worth reasoning with so I'll rather ignore you from now on!
It must just be me every Thread I start seems to piss people off. I generally only view threads that I'm interested in, or can offer assistance with, was just a simple request for some pics of how others have done it.....Sorry I guess I'll look else where for ideas on this one. Thanks to those who had some good input on this topic....
Don't be dis-enchanted. I thought your question was legitimate. I've found most HAMBers to be very helpful. Just ignore the PMSers that delight in playing HAMB cop.
No, not like that at all it does'nt bother me...I thought it was a legitimate question. I would still like to see some if anybody has any, if not I'll research else where....no biggie.
because no one will help him out... it shouldnt be this much of a conflict for someone to share a pic. we're all in the same scene guys. heres a shot for your i-beam request, i dont have a tube axle picture on me. sorry
Here's some info on mine........ http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=144787&highlight=frame
What the hell is wrong with that guy? Freakin' jerk. Some people can act so damn uppity ya know? Hey IRS30, don't ever be afraid to ask about anything on any thread. Period.
Once again thanks for the help. I guess I got what I came for.... <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->__________________ If you came here to get chastised by someone with nothing better to do, then you got what you came for! Geeze some people............. Any way good luck with your build(s).
I'm really greatful guys thanks, I'm not sweating his comments its just easier for me to say thanks and carry on instead of turning this into pissing thread, the HAMB moderators have enough to deal with...
I'm one of them lazy guys I guess. I'm also computer stupid. I do usually try the search but either don't put in the right word or it just hates me. I also don't just camp on the computer every day and read every post. It might have came up a day or two back but I didn't see it. I think it was a good question and I am in the same boat as you are. Any more pictures? How's the back? I'm frequant several other boards and you never get your butt ate out on a daily basis. But it is fun here. TP
Hey irs30 don't sweat the stuff like that man. I've done searches and asked questions and always got very intelligent answers either way. Just ignore the piss heads man. my .02 cents --- John
Heres mine it is not finish welded in teh pics but you'll get the picture. I had modified a 55' F100 axle to work with a Model A truck spring. The rack is NOT mounted to the axle any longer it is mounted to the frame. I didn't want to deal with a slip joint possibly binding in the steering. Again not finish welded... Here the rack is mounted to the frame but can't see it...
Here's a couple of mine. Using a stock A axle and Posies 5 leaf, I have 7 in. from grd to the front tip of of the frame with 24 in. tires, the perch itself is 6" from the top of the crossmember to the top of the sprg. Made from 4 pcs. of 5/16 plate.
Bad move mounting the rack on the frame. With a straight axle your just asking for bump steer problems. Mounting it on the axle is the correct way but as you stated you've got the added problem dealing with a slip joint in the steering. Frank
Sorry for getting a bit fired up at the guy and causing a stir. As you might have gathered I'm a bit fed up with guys who feel the need the police what questions are allowed to be asked. I was hoping to see pics other than the few I've collected over a period of MONTHS here on the HAMB and lost focus a bit. Here they are. Enjoy! These two are from a local T-Bucket:
