Thanks!
Is it still not possible to change you HAMB name? I haven't been on in quite some time and my name just doesn't suit me anymore.
Yup. Mechanical brakes. I might upgrade to a little more modern brakes. 32 or a little later. Still mechanical though. For me it's the difference...
Here are a few of the cars I'm getting inspiration from.
I just had this 31 Ford coupe fall in my lap last week. Body is going up for sale. I'm keeping the chassis and planning a TnA roadster. A period...
The-Rodster. Yes. That is it. Thank you!!!
Quite a few years back there was a thread where a gentleman built a chassis for his hot rod out of stainless. I've been digging for two hours and...

Some pics from Saturday's work. Like I said before, nothing crazy cool. I got the rear crossmember welded to the frame. I added an internal fish...
I've seen that thread. Very useful information. I'll be doing something similar but with original frame pieces.
I've seen these. I will need one very soon. I'm pretty sure one of the Model A suppliers sells them.
I got some work today but nothing exciting. Just finished up a ton of welding and did a ton of grinding. Not much to take pics of but the good...
You are right. A lot of them did have split bones. Probably most. I just prefer the look and feel of the stock wishbone setup. I'm going to figure...

Very cool
That pretty much has me caught up. I'll keep posting updates as I get more stuff done.

Trans mounted, rear installed and now it's time to figure out the torque tube!
I have to adapt the Chevy trans to the Ford torque tube. I don't plan on sitting any of the wishbones. It will be tricky but I have a few ideas.
I'm getting close to being caught up with the current state of the build. I had planned in using the 37 Packard transmission that I picked up...
