Re: Two Steps back. My high school chevy 1950 3100
On to some suspension and breaks.
Did you know that tubular control arms don't lend much over stamped pieces other than looks? I didn't! Yeah, I didn't. these things are not lighter...
I learned something on this day. Trying to compress springs without a drivetrain on the frame leave few options. And the one I chose to use felt dangerous and sketch as ****. ratchet straps and a death wish.
Seriously, do this after you put some weights on the frame. Body parts, engine and trans, ANYTHING.
I went with some Wilwood disks front and back. Here I am modifying and tapping some 2" drop spindles to accept the kit.
BTW the drop spindles that speedway sold didn't work. Something was off about the casting, but I don't recall what it was. Had to re-order some Belltech drop spindles, much nicer castings.
