Projects Cheap altered build - Topolino.

What wheelbase are you going with ?

 

Spring over, spring behind, coilovers.... Havent decided yet.

Not 100% set yet, but around 96-100". Starting on the frame next week.

 

It is a speedway 4"drop spring behind axle from their 23T bucket kit , with friction shocks, not the lightest front end but handles well at speed, we run 136 mph regulary with this car, I layed the axle back as far as adjustments on hairpins allow, 1/8 in toe in. , ford spindles , Radir 18 in spindle mount wheels

 

Super ride Gasserx. Back in the late 70's that is the first drag car I fell in love with and would I love to have one of those for the street!

Regards to my wife's ancestors. She is a Thorshov.

 

Thanks iceteacharlie! Theres a place just a few miles from here called Thorshov
A couple of lengths for the frame is in place at my friends workshop. Hopefully we can tack it down to his welding table, and weld it up this week.

 

Going to try what you suggested. Bantam fiberglass coupe, altered chassis, 181 Mercruiser (Chevy II style 4 cyl). Just for fun...........D.
