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.

 

Gary do you have any pics of that set up? If so any chance you can email them to me please?
