Just a few pics of some of the new stuff that came in last week or so. I have a triagulated 4 link, bag over axel brackets, and bridge plates from suicidedoors.com. I also received my Jamco SBF motor mount kit and it is real nice. I also have the front Slam Specialties bags mounted. They are SS 6" bags. I still want to take them out and enlarge the pocket hole in the frame just to be on the safe side for clearance. Right now there is about a 3/4" gap all the way around. So I will probally try to get that up to at least 1". With the current setup in the front there is no doubt that the car will lay frame or crossmember. This weekend will be the rear end stuff (4 link/notch) but we will also work on relocating the front shocks. Will have more pics sunday night!
That's what i kinda had in mind except moving the arms outboard to to get the wheels straight up and down. I haven't tried it yet and not sure how much it has to be moved.
Anyone ever tried the stepped A frames on these cars?I have seen it done on the 49-54 chevys with great sucess,however I have searched the hamb over twice and have not seen this done on the shoebox.I recently picked up a good 53 two door and I am making plands for bagging it.Any info would be awsome.
Seems like every bagged shoebox thread I have come across is similar to mine. Just some bags in the front with the standard cups. Everyone runs the dropped uprights and steering arms or they flip the stock like I did. Good luck with you 53. Look forward to some pics.
