    Hey nitrous nut,

    You don't have to call folks out for not enjoying your work - f*** them. As long as your happy what you did should be all that counts.

    I'm not personally into that "style" of truck but I have to give you props for A. setting a plan & following it
    B. finishing the project
    C. putting pix out for others to disect it.
    D. finishing the project

    Enjoy it - it looks like a fun vehicle.

    Whether we agree or not is no excuse for foul language, take it elsewhere.

    here is one for you....a skull on wheels

     



    I call him "T-Bone". I built this car last winter in my garage from a 1923 Ford (glass body) T- shell. It has a 300 h.p. sbc with a 350 turbo trans.

    A few observations

    You might consider a few changes.Put your spring pack UNDER your perch and your frame will be sitting on a nice flat sturdy surface , instead of hanging on 4 nuts . Doing this will allow you to have your spring hangers pointing down. Your frame should just about stay at the same height. Shocks also work best with a 5-25 degree angle, I had my shocks on a spindley bracket like you do and a good bump bent one of them . Also is your panhard bar hidden from view . I'm not an expert but there are somethings that just have to go a certain way ti operate correctly and safley. LFE

    I agree with you about the spring perch positioning and shock mounts. As far as the panhard bar, I don't run one on the front of my car either and have never had a lick of problems. I know several guys that don't have one on the front... Why do you think one is required?

    Here is what Speedway has to say:There is some controversy surrounding the use of a Panhard rod on cross spring drop axle suspension systems . While there are many hotrods running around without one most of the top chassis builders feel that it is a necessary part of a front suspension , especially with a 4 bar . With an original buggy spring and wishbone setup , the triangle shape of the wishbone limited side to side motion .Even a split wishbone or radius rod front end with the axle mounting points wider than the frame mounting points provides some measure of triangulation to help control side motion . By its design the four-bar front end is engineered to allow the front suspension to travel freely ( thus providing better ride quality and handling characteristics ) but it can not control side to side motion . The problem is compounded by cross- steering , as any side to side movement WILL cause bump steer . A Panhard bar should be considered mandatory on all four-bar systems and recommended on all cross steer systems . While building my ride every rod I looked at had one , so I put one on mine. LFE

    Read part of your quote from Speedway; While there are many hotrods running around without one MOST of the top chassis builders feel that it is a necessary part of a front suspension. That says most, not all. I've never had a problem with Bumpsteer and I'm sure plenty of others haven't also. That's why there are many Hotrods running around Without one. CTJ
