looks awesome! on the suspension, i think your best bet is to get some spun for a more realistic look! rc shocks would make it look like it was a off road car not a rod! lovin the frame! im all about scratch built frames!

I just ran out to the Harware store to pick up some more tubing for the cross members and found a whole aisle for springs. I think I have found what I need, but I just remembered I forgot to check the price.

I just added a load of cross members withing the cross members (sorry thats confusing). So far I have gone through 5 feet of tubing for the cross members.

MIKE! Looks good. Sorry haven't posted much, just been pretty busy. Got ahold of that HEMI yet? I got a question, how where you planning to make powersteering, A/C, brake MC, clutch MC and stuff like that?

Yea man I understand your busy, glad to see you're still intrested though. Still havent gotten ahold of the Hemi yet. I should have it within the next 2-3 weeks. Next week I have finals all week.

Powersteering box, not sure yet, probably styrene and putty. AC same thing. What is brake MC and clutch MC? What the hell does MC stand for?

BTW, I'll be posting new pics in about an hour or so.

Mike, wont you need to make the reservior for the brake fluid, and then use tubing to run the lines?

Dammit I hate you. Dont remind me of this yet, your scaring me. Im gonna need your help though this, I am a metal fabricator, so I dont exactly know where this stuff usually is, and looks like. I know most of it though.

Mike. I can snap pics of the brake MC and clutch MC in my car, but thats the best I can do for ya when the time comes. I wish I had a street rod with a HEMI. Oh wait, no I dont. too much on gas, thats what I like about my corolla. and yes, it has less displacement than my pepsi bottle on the counter.

I might be going to work at my uncles salvage yard this summer so I might try to find a '32 ford I could grab for a hundred bucks for reference. I may not even need to buy it.

If I cant, your pics would be appreciated.

BTW, you think gas for a Hemi 426 is bad. I want to put a 572 in my Bel Air when I get it.
