Brandon has the fastest car in the valley.
Running a swept front frame we built for him.
Keep seeing the coupe pop up in magazines, maybe some day he'll get a feature

Quarter elliptical springs and split bones , cowl steering, tie rod out front.

Wheelbase , wheel placement round 2
This is just as weird as my first post.
But since it is old, is it ok if I like it ?

Wheelbase , wheel placement
Pretty funny.
I don't know what to say.
But it did make me smile. (then I coughed up loogie )
The four door sedan with the front doors removed is kinda a neat idea.

off to the scraper
dude drug this by my place.. said it was from a race car.
Please race cars have four wheels
Said it was mostly old Ford
yeah, the valve covers say Ed Del Brock .. that doesn't sound like a Ford
And the caps have same dude with wings coming out his ears.
And the tires were bald.
Crushed it .

Front end Oops !
Stamped "Street Rodder" but I don't know more then that.
Look closely at this front end....
As a curved leaf spring compresses it gets flatter.
We all will agree to that right?
Well it also gets longer. (That's why you see shackles on leaf springs.)
But in this set up, as the spring compresses it will push on the bottom of the axle
Changing the caster as the axle goes up and down.
I don't know what they did (or even if this was finished) for steering.
That could get tricky too.
looks like it would have side steer. Every bump would jiggle the steering. ( I'm being nice)
The frame ends what 12 inches behind the axle. Hey what about shocks ! ?
And where does the radiator go? Or headlights ?
If you know the issue this was in, let me know. Would like to see what this was all about.

Matt's truck update
In final assembly Matt decided to break out the skill saw.
Nice bed rails. The new owner can paint a catchy phrase on it.
( yes he will be selling this truck when finished)
