Chris, Like the way you build and roll . . . . . Bet this will be a great ride for summer time ! Dave
hey man,,what is that radiator in the last pic.did u have that made or did u but it from like Walker.im trying to find a way to run the filler neck out my 32 shell on my av8 build
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, CHRIS for this post! I knew I had seen it here before, and now I found it again. I am doing exactly this on my av8 project right now, and this was very helpful. The frame i have already had the tabs for split bones, and they are too close for the bones I have. I guess they ran a model a axle and split bones before i got it? after seeing your car im really considering leaving the wish bone unsplit. I really dig the stance on your roadster, I want to keep my car's era early to mid 40's as much as possible and you nailed it. My axle is a 32 heavy axle, and i think the bones are 32's also but they appear to have been extended to clear the pan for a v8? The welds look good, and the car it came off of was well built so I think ill just run it that way. what kind of spring is your rear spring? I have a 41 ford rear end, but I dont know if ill use the spring?? The frame I have has a kick up of about 5" inches... Might have to go with something taller? What is your wheelbase also please? I dont have a body yet, but I want to set everything up meanwhile. Thanks again!
PS::::::: anyone have an extra saddle thing laying around so I can do the same thing as chris on my f1 crossmember?
