Projects Still a newbie after 8 yrs.

I figured that I had better get with it and post a bit.

This is my latest venture.It is a shortened 28 or so Studebaker touring car that I was only able to identify with the help of other hambers.I am trying to build this car on a shoestring budget,as traditional as possable,and no parts from speedway.If I cant find it or make it It wont be on there.With all of this slap together rod craze going on everywhere I did'nt wan't mine to get lost in the sea of rats and gl*** but like I said "shoestring budget".It will have a SBC and radial tires but it will not have IFS,EFI or bags and it will drive like an old Rod minus the 4 link.

 

SBC. Radials. Might as well use a little Speedway. It won't tarnish the build.

 

Your right,a little speedway would'nt hurt.Especially heim joints for the bones and steering arm that mounts onto the spindle.

 

Five years November, I learned what a rod is. Or at least found out what old cars are. Following January I had my first useless Flathead.
And here I'm stuck on finding the parts that are 80 to 60 years old. Where did i go wrong?

 

Anything from Speedy Bill can hurt. Get your heim joints from a reputable catalog speed shop or industrial supplier of American made junk.

Ok so much for my slam speedway for the month.

I like the tub well enough by the way. A properly dressed small block will have the look.

 

What ever floats your boat,radials and sbc is not synonymous with Speedway Motors,they make a lot of parts for the style car you are building.

Budget plays a part in all builds,some just have a unlimited bottom line but that's not the norm. HRP

 

Wow, it's his car let him build it the way he wants .

 

Dude,this IS a message board,we are just throwing out suggestions,get a life! HRP
