Projects My first hot rod : '28 A

I didn't set the I beam caster yet so the upper shock mount is not finalized yet.

 

7° of caster with the rake that is set also. So I should be good even if the rear suspension ever need to be tweeked.
So I had some rear suspension brackets from some 1920's truck or big car that I got for free for another build but decided they were perfect for the hairpins on the '28.
After some modifications

I don't know yet if I weld them, rivet them or bolt them in place.

I never liked those fabricated brackets that are sold by everybody.

 

Beautiful repurposing of an elegant old part. Bravo.
