    I don't care if it affends someone or not that is pure ****.
    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 **** 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 s**** 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 **** 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 ***wipes 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. ********!!! 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 ! ! ! ! ! !
