1937 Ford Roadster project

Is that a swing arm rear end or are there upper control arms (doesn’t look like there is any place for upper control arms to attach to the hubs)? If it is a swing arm, then that seems like a huge waste of money to me. A proper solid axle design with a panhard bar will handle better than a horrible independent design like a swing arm. I guess it doens’t matter for a show car that’ll probably never really get driven, but then again, you could chrome a solid axle housing just as well and actually have decent handling to go along with the shine. :gotme:

I certainly approve of the engine choice, though… :tup:

as evidenced by the throttle…:tup:

well like i said before its only a show car he probably wont even spin the tires…

Jag rear suspensions are designed that the 1/2 shafts are the upper control arms

thanks nick… i checked up on this project today and it was all covered in plastics or id have some new pics. air bags are on it and ready for the rest of the suspension to go in

damn that is gunna be sick

Shoulda went with a flathead :wink:
Otherwise looks like a cool project :tup:

This car is rediculous…are those guage pods part of this kit or is that something he’s fabbed up on his own? Either way I like it a lot:)

you know it takes time to do a project the right way… im telling everyone now this car will be perfect… no flaws anywhere…

actually those are from the new acura rdx,

Makes it even better! I love when builders get resourceful like that…is he going to run the electronic gauges (assuming the rdx is electronic…), or is it just the pods with some kind of aftermarket analog style gauge?

yea its going to be the same guages as the turbo rdx… the tail lights are even hotter, they are from a honda motorcycle… that was discontinued, the light is clear but when brakes red its hot

so this is where u been hidin out…
