Early chevy rods

Yeah, let me second Stone, anybody got some detail shots of Lukester's front end/spring mount set-up? I really like that grille placement; behind the front axle, but covering the suicide mount. Nicely done.

FeO2, stan292, dig your projects, guys!

Stone,

I'm in the middle of screwing up a '31 Chevy 5W coupe. Unfortunately it's been a while since I've taken any progress pictures, but if you search under my name you'll come up with a few old updates.

As far as your suspension questions go, I have a billion pictures of my setup. They're all at home though. Is there anything you're looking for in particular? Don't listen to the people who tell you that parallel leaf suspensions are ugly. They have no idea. Form follows function.

Thanks edmurder.I'm new to this and trying to learn as much as I can.I have seen pics of 32 ford rails and other ford ch***is.I was wondering how the setup differs.I would like to be able to see pics of the chevy setups to grasp the full content.

 

THOM has a '28 chevy roadster project that he wants to sell.

If I was to build a chevy hot rod, I would ditch the front end and use Ford stuff. It looks waaaay better.

 

Here's one in Germany.
Pic from my website.

 

Here's my 29/30 body I got for $50 it is a tourer body but I'm forming a custom rear for it
I'm going to be steeling out the body in 65x5mm steel plate and 50x25x3mm RHS.

 

Here is the truck Bonnet (Hood) that will form the **** end, don't ask what it's off as I got it off the s**** pile at the local Tip

 

Thanks guys.How much of a sin would it be to build a tube ch***is or modify a frame from something else?

 

Here is my ch***is it's a '29 but is very similar to '32.

At Wintersun this past weekend there was a '32 Chev roadster that had parallel leaf spring front with lever action shocks, front brakes looked to be Ford brakes (5 stud) with finned Buick drums flathead V8, quickchange rear with same brake combo as front, unsplit wishbones. Also had a Duvall style windshield. Sorry no pics yet as I'll have to get around to get the pics developed (f*ck I need to buy digi camera ).

 

Thanks Jimmy B.That gives me a good example.
