Welcome from Olathe!

This is a great idea for a thread, thanks!

Now that would be different!

Thanks Kurt. It's 6061 Aluminum. I don't know much about Aluminum grades, so.....? What are your thoughts on the mounting width? More=better or worse? I will have to measure tomorrow to give a better idea on the specifics. The plan was to set them up as close to parallel with the frame as...

That's what I'm asking I guess. What is the proper size? I like the polished stainless idea, but that would overshadow the rest of the car. I'm definitely not going the chrome/shiny route. In fact the aluminum may not even go with the rest of it, just thinking along the lines of different...

Oh, I gotcha. Yeah, I can see how that would be a concern with aluminum, especially in the back where you can't see them easily, but that's good to hear they can take the stress. In fact the place that has them looks like primarily a sprint/midget race shop. I just liked the idea of the...

I'm a pilot by trade, so preflights are the norm.[cl Are you mentioning the threads and jam nut backing out because of the aluminum aspect or the heim/clevis joints? I'm not trying to be argumentative, just trying to get my head around what the concerns with aluminum might be. As far as jam...

Thanks OldIron. I was leaning towards the 1" myself. I've been batting this around in my head for awhile now when I found this place, and the best part is it's right down the street. On another note: I'm using a Suzuki Samurai frame and am in the process of cleaning and preparing it (I...

I'm planning the front end for my '27 coupe. I'm looking around for parts and trying to figure out how I'm going to do the front. I'm leaning towards a 4 bar using heims on the frame and clevises for the mount on the axle (F100 I beam). I found a place right around the corner from me that...

Thanks Uncle Jimi. That's a good site to start with also. Old Iron, that's pretty much what I've been doing and you're right, I can usually find what I need. I was just wondering if anyone had catalogued the actual frame specs or factory plans in one place. I know it's kind of a stretch, but...

Thanks. That's helpful and can get me in the ballpark. I'm really looking for the actual frame dimensions though.

Does anyone know of a comprehensive list/website/book of frame specs? I'm looking for a donor car for my project and struggling a bit. Ideally I'd get a complete running chassis for my '27 T/Dodge body including a frame I can modify without too much hassle. I've got a few ideas, but would...

That is great! Thanks, I'm sure a number of us are watching anxiously to see how this turns out.[cl

Love the roof! May have to borrow that idea.
