    Arrow Plz Help me Lower a Model T w/out Air ride

     



    Hi,
    I am thinking of getting into a model t or model a and after seeing RIDES it showed me to lower the chassic and raise the bed to help the effect. Also it showed to bend the front axle in an L shape. Please post some trick to help lower my dream 33 Model T.

    , I'm sorry but, there is no such thing as a 1933 Ford Model T, the T ran from 1912 or so to 1927 and from 1928-1931 there was the Model A and then from 1932 to 1934 there was the Model B which is not it's common name as a hotrod, a T is known as a T bucket, a A is known Abone and a 1932 is known as a Deuce, and '33-'34's are just that '33 Ford or '34 Ford.

    Back to how to lower the chassie, what they did is called "Z" ing the frame, that's where the back parts and front parts of the frame are cut off and then new are overlapped a few feet on the top and they used gussets to support it. What this does is lower the body but keep the suspension at a normal ride hight, no air bags or anything is needed.
