underslung chevrolet (new project)

hey skotty i was wondering about your project the other day.

 

Can't wait to see the body on the frame mock up. Killer build !

 

ahh projects coming along slow and steady. it seems that everything else has been taking priority over it these days. how have you been? we should meet up at the applebees cruise before the season is over?

 

well fellas after 3 months of taking a break i decided to give it another stabb. heres a very rough mock up of the watts link i will be running. once again its going to be all home made and stout. im toying around with the geometry to see what jives the best for my car. should have it done with in the week. i would like to have the car on the road by may.

 

Keep movin on it. Seems like youve got direction. Ive been hoping to see an update to this thread.

 

thanks its been a rough few months, but im back on track.

 

This is a total POS and doesn't belong on this traditional web site. Take your air bagged piece of shit some where else!!!

 

Can't wait to see this one done, great work.

You have no right to an opinion!!!!!!!

Keep up the good work Skotty

 

How would you know if it belongs on here or not? I'm just curious, being a newbie and all, just like you. Of course, I lurked on here for about a year before I joined, but what do I know?

Oh, that's right, I remember now: If you don't like it, don't buy it. People come on here for ideas and inspiration. So far I haven't seen any ideas or inspirations from you. I'm here to learn, why are you here?

 

Wow, 17 posts and you already speak for the moderators...

baldguy, why don't you let your wives calm you down and get back to us later.

Skotty- keep up the good work! There's a new car museum by the airport in Philly that has an American Underslung in it's display if you want to check one out- they're great cars.

 

I've seen some of the best builders in the country

 

Hit the wrong key, as I was saying I've seen some of the best in the country and even worked for a few, they all try new stuff to stretch the definition of traditional.
Don't let the bastards get ya down, Doit like you want not how someone who isn't paying ypur bills wants

 

Take your crappy attitude somewhere else!!!!!!

Skotty, Awesome work, can't wait to see the next update!

 

Don't tell me, let me guess.

You are the newest member of the self declared Traditional Police ?


Just what we need, another tough guy.

 

looks like "blah, blah" got his post wiped...

In all honesty, you might seriously want to exercize a little restraint and tact, rather than jumping in so quickly with guns blazing-

 

you an an inspiration to botched lobotomy patients everywhere.

 

well i am a fng but i have been on here since 2006 just never made the time to post i think your underslung is bitchen and your work looks great

 

Not to steal the thread, but PBS did a program not too long ago on the development of the lobotomy and the doctor who made them famous- got to the point (no pun intended) where he was traveling from town to town using an ice pick and a hammer through the eye socket...

 

Didn't realize this was your website.

 

Man, some guy's

 

Fuckwit. Keep your small minded opinions to yourself you obviousley have nothing positive to offer.

Love the underslung

 

See what happens when you touch yourself too much?

 

Wow. As a fellow fng, I guess that I missed the election where we decided to let you speak for everyone on the site...

As a fellow early Chevy owner (original 28 Landau Coupe and 29 roadster project), I have really enjoyed keeping up with this build. Looks cool to me!

 

all but the six lug Dodge Dakotas. they just HAD to be different for some reason... i've got some cool old 6 lug "Artillery" wheels now that i think about it. 17inchers.

 

i have news for you. If it wasnt for the HAMB this car would never be where it is today and would never have been built. In my short time here i learned a great deal and met some good people that have helped me get this car in the right direction. This is by far the best, and most knowledgable group of hot rodders on the net. I would like to thank every one for their support and wish you all a safe and happy holiday.

 

Very classy response. I commend you for your mature and cool-headed answer. Keep the build write up coming. I think the underslung is a neat and different idea and I look forward to seeing more of it.

 

I have a question about the rear bag set-up. With the air bag mounted that far forward on the link, doesn't it lose quite a bit of leverage and require an excessive amount of air pressure to raise the rear? This in turn would kill the ride. I ask because I don't know. Anyone?

Slim

 

thank you very much. ill be working on it and posting some pictures over the next few weeks.

 

the way i have the rear set up actually rides better. the ratio is 1.5:1. meaning that for every 1 inch the bag lifts the frame lifts 1.5 inches. the bags are rated at 2600 lbs each and to place them over the axle would give you a very bad ride. even with a full tank of gas. there is actually more leverage on the bag which causes a softer ride. it should be more comfortable than a caddy.
