Future project plans
Hopefully my next winter's project will be a fenderless hotrod. Something in the line of a 29 or 30 ford sedan, bobber truck, or whatever I come up with on a body. I'll build my own frame, 4 link and coil overs, and so on. My question is, what front axle should I start looking for? I want it low, but not so low I have problems with these fine roads we have around here. I want something I can get disc brakes for. Front spring, what kind of steering, vega box? I know speedway has a lot of the stuff, but if I can find used, or fab it, I will. This is going to be completely new for me, so any help, advice or whatever would be appreciated. Swap meets are coming up, so I thought I would try to pick some stuff up, just don't want to end up with a bunch I don't need. Roger on here has a bad a$$ car, I'm looking at all the builds I can find to get ideas. I was in the 70's group, I know those cars and trucks, this should be a learning experience and a lot of fun. I would rather ask for help than build something that handles like crap.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
