  1. How'd you get it so low without kicking the axle way out front? Is the radiator right on top of the crossmember? What type radiator did you use? How about some suspension details.

    here are some pictures of how I fixed the ackerman on a front steering
    model A .
    that pivot needs to be right in the middle of the backing plate. turn your wheels
    hard one way and look at them,
    one tire will be sliding not rolling .

    Here is a couple of pics of my shop and the stone barn. When I bough the house the barn was open from the ground to the ridge, I decide to build a garage (red and white off cause) inside the stone barn, because of all the dust blowing down from the stone walls.
