I actually agreed with him on that one! Lol... Maybe for the next build eh... It's wall art currently! I really try and use any/all criticism as positive... Even though the delivery is off at times I feel that most people on the HAMBURGER mean well and I have sifted through a lot of the hazing. They feel you out to make sure you are not a wannabe/etc. Which I kinda am (I wanna be myself!) anyway he actually motivated me to re-design my website as others had also complained about poor design, and I have had a much more elegant nick cates designed piece that is a lot more user friendly. The only issue I have is if u are to criticize you must bring at least three different courses of action as a solution or it's just plain old whining/bitching. Other than that thank you for your comments! As you caused me to reflect upon where I am now as compared to 2 years ago with ye olde disease process known as hot roddin! Whisky

Hey Took all my spare time for two nights to read through it! And WOW! I dont give much RR, but I love a good de-ratting!! And this is the thing that makes the HAMB so great. Peopel offer you guiding and advice. If you get cockey, the go bully-style on you, at least till you see Safety first or this is the way you must do it. And you viced up quickly, så everybody was really nice to you. You have come a long in short time, but mentaly you made it so much longer. I don't understand why you have 3 pages, with post with one-photo posts. But then again they was damn good photos! I personly I dont get why you dident go with that other body. But if you mean business so get cracking on that body. Now you got me hooked, so hurry and show us more! I'm addicted now! :-0 Congratulations on progress well made. And in the words of Hank Williams: I saw the light, I saw the light!

Did they have an indoor lake? Because it looks like it was at the bottom of one. :] Glad your keeping at it! Piece by piece.
Thank you... I just love the pics Thanks, your words made my day! On the single pics, I get so busy that I often don't have time to add three at once... Plus I'm a post whore lol Looks worse in the pics lol. Well I hope it is we will see after the blasting quick question, where do I get a dropped axle that will bolt up, maybe 4-6" drop, that is old looking or just an old one?
296AV8 here on the HAMB drops 'em. My '27 T Roadster build: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t= 734383

Aesthetics really. This goes back to Jimmy B's drawing. Nobody likes an ass dragging hot rod, it just looks weird, or like it wasn't planned out well. I can't remember (and haven't looked back in the thread) but isn't your Z pretty deep? Look at my T build. The frame is Z'ed 6", the axle is dropped 3" but with the spring behind front end the front will be down about 5" total. Not enough rake for me buy it's close. The rest will be made up with rubber rake. Of course this was all planned from the very beginning. We knew approximate tire sizes early, and the final stance we wanted.

Yes that makes more sense! The higher the rear end frame is the more the front will need dropped to lower stance... I think I will go with 6" what u think? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Been raining here in KY... The warm KY rain that has been mentioned in many great songs over the years. Front end has been blasted. Will pick it up tonight and shoot (yes you guessed it) a ton of pics... Also I will need to remove my old tires with some tire irons, and grab my 17's to drop off to the blaster. I will use a hammer to break the bead, or just run it over with my truck! Then muscle the tires off with the irons. Question on stock spoked 17's, how wide are they for tire selection? i.e 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 etc? or do I just measure... and if so from what point? lip to lip etc? please advise... Whisky
Thanks for the inspiration!! I just noticed they changed the thread title to sedan... Bout time Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
