Looks like chrome firewall and frame? [ATTACH]
I use the small chevy model because it's the most hated on.. China stamped chrome valve cover not cool.. Stamped chromed factory Chevrolet...
So have we isolated "death wobble"?? A split bone/hairpin car with no lateral axle control which can be compounded be a greater degree of caster...
Magazine collection.. if you want an accurate representation of a period there isn't much of a better way.. At times opinion can vary on a point...
Actually the drag link down at the box can be better in terms of steering geometry in a trad steer set up.. if interested in investigating further...
Who cares what I think but I usually only like low T-32 Fords with no chop.. A medium to tall stanced car can look un-custom-e pretty quick.....
Just visualizing as I haven't tested but when you split the wishbone you un-triangulate the front end making it easier for the axle to move...
With some patina can be a point of contention.. I might phrase it how do I keep my paint from deteriorating further.. :rolleyes::D
Depends on how the chassis is set up and the hairpins/ladders are influencing the car and it's up to the owner to test under varied circumstances...
If building a period car the factory Ford crossmember can look more at home imo.. They just look like a lot of time and energy went into the...
db magnet
If we could round up every db who's plagued my consciousness with their presence their might not be anyone left..
Genius in my worthless opinion.. don't think I've not listened to the hole album every play.. [MEDIA]
Blues4u - not a problem, I've suffered a lot worse.. First car the "Apache" was billed as a combo of hot rod and sports car with a custom...
Not sure what your premise is by "saying" this, its historically inaccurate or un-attractive but either way.. First rule of being a historian,...
A number of low cars have re-engineered chassis/frames to allow for proper or close suspension travel, so mute point almost.. My A (which isn't...
If the parts are great and there's a market there can never be too many imo.. its like having too many 97's, 32 3 windows or cool survivors.....
I'm usually in the personal choice category.. by that I try to pre design the entire car as best as possible before starting work,, that's partly...
Combined with the china nature of a lot of parts now a days it can be a pita.. but whenever possible never give in to joe suburb..
Not sure, you're right that in a ladder bar set up the resistive forces are minimized with the chassis mount points close to the center line but...
Yeah, I know.. that's why I added the speculation bit.. hoping I wouldn't have to read this..:D
Hard to say without testing myself but the ladder bars may be the problem or in part.. Set up my first car with and tested the articulation...
Obviously this doesn't apply in this instance but if trying to build a period car not in the least..
I've got 15x8's on the rear of my roadster and would like 7's, look a touch modern.. Early ford steel wheels are 5 on 5.5, wouldn't be the...
No offense, but if it's cool you can get away with more..
Do you have a vtg magazine collection? sometimes modern interpretations of low channeled cars can leave a bad taste in the mouth.. I can think of...
Admittedly I don't care for overly low cars either but keep in mind the hamb cut off is 65, probably too many low show cars alone to be counted...
lol, highlander... yea, if it's fast enough you look like a douche if your not fully suited... but then that would be a race car..:rolleyes::D
Well, take this w/a grain as I'm not an expert machinist or lathe mechanic.. but I had a logan and gave it away to a "friend" I hated.. chatter...
But, Hot Rods are supposed to be dangerous.. There's a fine line you have to walk between responsibility toward others, not tarnishing the image...
