Projects Building a Tube Chassis for my '36 Ford Sedan

Yeah, it was too different, we only want things on the Hamb that are just like everyone else's cars.

 

As I said it would be interesting to see this one finished to see how the concepts played out.

Different to be sure but would still be kinda neat.

If only money - time was no issue for any of us.

 

Indeed.

All I need is to live forever and have an inexhaustible supply of money.

Times is hard fellers, sometimes priorities force the toys off to the side for a while.

I'm still fairly young, so I've got a good 20-25 years left in which to finish it.

When I have money I also have this constant internal struggle whether to spend it on this car, or my oval race car.

It sounds counter intuitive, but the race car is actually the cheaper of the two to work on and play with.

'Course, I ain't playing with either one right now.

Being broke sucks.

 

Further to this, while I was looking for stuff for the traditional T bucket thread, I found a fairly detailed 3 page article on a Dragmaster chassied T bucket in July '65 Car Craft. some photos of the torsion bar rear suspension and some other cool stuff there. My digital camera has gone on the fritz, so I cant post it, but maybe someone else that reads this has the same issue and a scanner?

 

Camera is working. Sorry about the piss-poor quality here. I need to get a proper scanner.

 

Were did you get the 16"x8" wide five wheels from?

 

I had Diamond Racing Wheels make them up for me special.

Not too expensive, something less than $200 a piece.

They're steel, obviously.

 

I dig it, hope the thread stays without the police tagging it, should be a nice setup, and handle like a champ

 

Why would the police tag anything?

It's not drivable right now, and the MO title process isn't nearly as draconian as CA or other less-free states.
