well, here it is! I got it rolling before thanksgiving plus the floor is started! I may do a little more this week but time is tight.... The only bummber is I won't be working on it probably the whole month of dec.... because I'll be out on tour with my band, but I'm real happy with what I got done so far. especially since its only for a few hours a night...when I can.
I'm right behind you, SOS (55 shoebox),straight axle, gonna cut it day after turkey day !! Lookin good , my pics when I figure out HOW!
nice build!! nothing like a straight axle car!! why did you put your brake calpers on the front?? just woundering!!
hey guys thanks.. long way to go but its getting there. mikeyfrombc: The axle is outta a 56' chevy 1/2 ton. truckjunky24: i had to put them there for clearance.. its hard to see but there is a steering arm on the p***anger side mounted on the top of the spindle so i can connect to the steering box(that i don't have yet).. for a cross steer set up. if you strain your eye's you can see it in pics 2 and 3... funny looking little thing on top... I will get a better pic up soon.. thanks guys..
Coming along great. I sure hope you band mates realise what you are giving up on at home to go out touring with them!!!! Good luck with the build....and touring too!!
