    Looking for pics of fenderless 1934 (and other) hot rods with a parallel rear spring set up.
    I like to see how much of the springs are visible in real life.
    I have all the parts laying around to build my frame including a parallel spring kit but I'm in doubt if I will like the looks in the end.

    My 34 is fenderless and parallel leafs...they are just abbreviated. Quarter elliptical springs from P&J. Rides nice, adjustable height and you can't see them.

    Here is the "some assembly required" stage

    I like the cleanness of the semi ellipticals, no coil overs or buggy spring. Hell, even standing under the car you can't hardly see them.

    You would need a spring not much longer than the tire diameter. A una-084 trailer spring might work.
