Hot Rods Am I Wrong?

I've had several V8 60 axles. Turned down one the other day, to much money.

 

Thanks Gary!

Thank you!

They're definitely out there, but I had to search for quite awhile before I found one that I thought was "affordable" and even at that it's got its problems. Past up quite a few for $500+ over the years, just can't get myself to spend that kind of dough on an unknown...

 

That's pretty much how I always thought about it.

 

Koz do you have any detailed pics of the spring mount? Thanks.

 

I looked through my pics and I don't have anything up close. There are some shots on about post 132 of my build thread, ( https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...-body-a-build-thread-with-pics.1197541/page-5 ). It is basically the old California Custom Roadsters style overslung spring setup. My problem was that it was too low so I swapped the reverse eye spring for a stocker and it sets perfectly now. My phone is messed up and I can't post pics now or I'd shoot some details for you. I've built a lot of these and if your planning on doing something similar, shoot me a PM with your info and I'll make some templates and mail them to you.

 

Thanks. At this stage just trying to finalise what Im going to do as want to run a non-dropped front axle.

 

Nice setup with undropped Model A axle is Brian Mackeys' black '27 roadster, the old Sailor Jerry Rum car.

 

Inverted Ackerman could literally be suicide.
