Apparently you are absolutely correct s55mercury66. Very few on this board must know what a silver crown car is. A silver crown car has a straight front axle and a straight axle quickchange rear end. It is just a live axle where the whole axle tube turns, not just the axle inside the axle tube. It is mounted in what they call birdcages with bearings to fit the outside of the axle tube with two links per side, one forward and one back and uses a panhard bar. They have been this way for plenty long enough to be considered traditional. I never said anything about independent suspension. Never had any intention of putting independent suspension under this car. I don't know where this all came from
Don't worry, they will come around to reading the thread before commenting someday There is a build thread on here somewhere where a guy is building a cross-torsion ch***is for a roadster, looks pretty good too.
I don't think I want to do torsion bars. I don't want to go through the experimentation process to figure out the right weight bar. I know from racing sprint cars that the right bar can change from hot laps to heat race to the feature. LOL. Been there, done that. A few of the current silver crown cars are bar cars, but most are now coil over. A few years ago the sprints tried coil overs, but now most are back to torsion bars. Opinion is always changing. I am more familiar with coil overs from working on late model dirt cars. My son races sprints currently, and I used to race late model dirt cars before the sprints for my son came around.
Man, where are these real steel T's coming from? A few years ago, they were hard to find. In good shape, that is.
The fella I bought mine from had 8 26 T coupes and sedan bodies on a trailer plus the roller I bought. None of them had doors and the coupes were missing the decklids also. They were all in pretty good shape. I know that this is the second load of 8 that he has had in the last month and they are selling like hotcakes. He isn't getting off any information about where he is getting them. Looks like there will be a **** load of T's running here shortly.
I would love 8 stacks sticking up, but I don't think I could get the streetability out of it. Besides I have a 27 T roadster, 2000# with 450 HP for when I need an adrenaline rush. The old lady won't drive it, but she might drive a mild mannered one
