does this look like a safe front end...built by a professional?

    I don't care if it affends someone or not that is pure shit.
    Who ever built that thing really is telling alot about themselves.
    I guess people are starting a new thing (GARBAGE RODS)
    So if anyone wants to cuss me go ahead but shit like that could get someone killed and that reflects poorly on us all. If people keep doing stuff like this they are going to take away the one thing I truly love.

    I'm not familiar with beam axle design, but look at the top plate of the bulldog clamp.
    That's obviously a piece of channel scrap he had lying around, and didn't even bother to clean it up.
    One side is rougher than the other, left and right sides different height, corner gone on one edge etc.
    I might do something like that for myself if I was in a hurry, but I'd be wearing a mask if I drove it in public.

    The problem is in the steering arms. It should handle backwards better than frontwards.

    :eek: That poor car.....I hope whoever buys it knows it is a death trap and fixes that front end. I wonder what the rear setup looks like. I don't know shit about suspension but I could still tell you that this one isn't safe.....just wow.

    First off, I'd never spend that much money on that steaming pile. But if I did, I'd take the body off and throw the rest in the shredder. Even then, the body needs to be un-chopped a couple inches to be useful. Where do these asswipes keep finding '30-'31 coupe bodies to trash?

    Come on you guys are being too critical, obviously it's designed to glide to a safe stop on the bottom of the cowl if the front end breaks;)

    I like on his ad, he says how he drives to the store occasionally. BULLSHIT!!! There is no way in hell anyone drives that thing anywhere. Which explains why the front end has lasted long enough to take pictures...

    model-a-fan.................

    I was thinking the same thing!

    I know that its not suppose to be that much.

    It also looks like a different motor in the egay ad and the magazine picture,

    I'm no pro-builder but I take pride in what I do...............

    At least he said he had shocks put on for a better ride ! ! ! ! ! !
