I worked on figuring out what it will take to get the upper a-arms attached to the frame.
I cut these from a piece of 2x4
so that I could do this
The idea is to mount the mercedes shafts on plates so that the arms can be bolted to the frame. The problem is that the frame is not square with the world...the rails are pinched.
The arms need to be mounted at an angle.
simple enough...in theory
now to make it pretty
make mirror image one too...
.
Next step will be to prep the front rails for the arms.There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.

I'm seriously considering pulling the plug on this thing and using the jag parts on a model A coupe....There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
