Re: [PROJECT] "Hot Rod" 1931 model a Bonneville/ Rolling bones style

Well I have finally got some more progress done. Last weekend I got the center section of the frame tied together and the frame off the table. I mocked up the axles just to see what it will look like. Also split the wishbones and then I had to order some parts so that was it tell this weekend. Yesterday I got the old spring perches out and new flat top one installed, mounted up the posie spring and drilled the wishbones for the sleeve for the new perch mounts. Mocked everything up to find out the shackles were to short. So today I made longer ones and got the sleeves welded in and chassis setting on its own weight.



Here's the initial mock up pictures









Bolted the motor and trans in place for weight and to set caster. Here's the front end setting on its own weight.












Tomorrow I hope to get the wishbones cut down and the threaded bung welded in and the frame mounts drilled and the tapered mount also welded in place. I have to ream the taper a little deeper.



Thanks for looking



Justin
