Interested in seeing exactly what group of Original Henry Ford Parts everyone has used on Your Hot Rods. I mean detailed breakdowns from Axle/Bones/Hubs/backing plates/spring/ etc... I'm building 1 31 A coupe and have already searched many posts. I've not run in to a detailed breakdown Post. Lets see whats out there. Mostly interested in Hot Rod Front Ends. Thanks to all that can contribute: Ratty! P.S. Dont let my screen name Fool you . I love traditional Hot Rods! Additionally, I rarely start threads, mostly lurk since most info is already on here!
OK I'll play. 4" Ch***is Engineering axle. 34 spring and perches. 34 wishbones, split 39 stub axles. 39 hydraulic backing plates. 47 drums. 35 16" wires. P & J shocks. Speedway loop steering arm. Speedway flat stock tie rod arms.
Thats what Im talking about dammit. Im really excited about this thread and hope most contribute. Could really help us younger guys out and save us from alot of hardship. Dont get me wrong, the hunt for parts is half the fun. The other half is the build. Thanks B***man!
