That's how you know your good..... When you start making major suspension parts before you even know what car your putting them under

That 4 link looks like it can handle about a million horse power. Perfect

Funny, that's what my wife said..... [S
Actually, things like the 4 link are easily adaptable to most frames and the frame pieces I made also should work right into the general build plan that I have brewing . . . .
So far the $$ investment is low since the axles and steel used were leftovers, besides even if plans change, they can still get used on something else.

While I'm waiting to hear if I'll have the winning bid on the 37 Packard 120, I found a pic of a 37 Packard 115 and got busy with the scissors to come up with a new look for it. Chop, drop, section, 2 doorification, and humpback removal would give it much kooler profile. Ton of metal work..........

Oh boy, you hit a nerve Dr.C - here's one of my concept scribbles from my 'someday' file of dream builds...
Take a 56 Packard executive 4dr. and convert it to a 2 dr. (they never made a 2dr. sedan, only 4drs. and 2dr. hardtops) build a tube frame, lose all the ugly extra chrome off the front end, built 374 Packard V8, adapt a modern auto box, obligatory tube axle, rounded rear wheelwells and some big slicks.
Presto-change-o, "Executive Decision" is born - well, it could be...
Someday....

It would require "Executive Decision" hand-painted lettering as well!
