Does anyone have an update of where the Norman Wallace roadster is nowadays? If it's still in New England I'd love to see it. My grandfather was...
That car looks awesome, I love the look and stance. I too love the headlights and would like to go with that size and placement on my roadster....
Thanks Nick. Everybody on this site has been really cool and helpful, seems like a tightknit bunch as well. I literally just got off the phone...
I love it. I agree a chop will make everything look better as a package but still think it's a killer truck and running a 427 is just badass.
Wow, dude tell me how ya really feel. Easy on the newb, message received loud and clear. Guess I got some shopping/planning to do. Gonna have to...
Doesn't seem like it would be all too hard to convert it back to a transverse leaf set up would it? It may take some time and a lot of thinking,...
Rear is set up for coil overs.
So far this site has been great and I thank you all for commenting. So to sum things up to make my current configuration work I need to confirm...
This one has threaded rod ends on the end of the bones. It looks as though all this was set up some time ago, so hopefully it's been down the road...
28A, your set up looks great. Yes my A perch bolts do have shackle holes so I could go that route. I do have about a 103" wheelbase currently...
Got it, so since these are split somebody must have moved the perches to square them up with the springs. I clearly see how a shorter spring is...
I'm sorry for being such a newbie. I don't know what you mean about split bones. I understand what you are saying about the later axles having...
F&J, excuse me for maybe asking a dumb question. Can the wishbones be swapped side to side and a longer spring used eye to eye? Probably ride...
So car is tucked away in dark carport next to garage but just got a rough wheelbase measurement.... 103". It looks to me like rear axle was moved...
Thanks for the welcome! I thought it was a decent starter rod. I've built and owned many muscle cars and trucks but never a hot rod, so this is my...
So will the frame to axle clearance be an issue? Thanks for filling me in on some of the components I have on there.
Yes I would think so. Not gonna run fenders or a hood so have fitment to worry about, more concerned about how it affects the ride/handling.
Oh yeah, I plan on cutting off the bracket that looks like it was for a panhard bar. Not sure why that would have needed up front unless it was...
Ok, last week I bought a '28 Roadster on what is believed to be a '31 frame. The body is actually just an original cowl with a nicely home made...
Welcome from NH. Seems like a few guys from Mass on here. Hope to meet you all in the coming years.
Hey guys I've lurked on here a few times now just joined up. Long time car nut that had a nice restored '71 Nova for nearly 20 years and a bunch...
