I'll be showing it here also for those who don't frequent TRaK.
I got a Goodguys 32 kit, but it has a lot of stuff in it that I don't want on this build. I'm aiming for a late 40's/early 50's. basic hot rod with not a lot of speed parts on it. No dropped axle, no bagged rear end, no late model engine, no fat bling wheels.
Heres some of the parts I have already done.
First thing I did was to make new engine mounts for the salvage yard flathead.
After whining about not having any dropped axles and having to scratch one, I find now that I only have 1 stock axle that I previously stole the spring from. So I mated a spring from the salvage yard to it. Also modified the ftr axle to take different wheels.
Had to make a rear end using a salvage yard pumpkin and aluminum tubing. And scratchbuilt some springs for it.
Used some brass rod for wishbones.
Remember, I do a lot of imagineering and things may not be analy correct.
