Although my 46 is not a "rat rod" per say........it's a bit ratty: patina paint for sitting in the sun in Ks. for last umteen years. Couple bullet holes in the windows & some dry rotted tyres....
Although a dropped axle & superslide spring had been added prior to my recent ownership.....I've evaluated the car as a whole and have ordered parts that will upgrade the car, in some ways, to at least the 80's.
So......I'm pushing forward and have ordered parts........
Chassis Works front A-arm set up
Chassis Works R & P steering
Chassis Works poly 4 link set up
Koni dbl. adjustible rear coil over shocks
Chassis Works adjustible front coil over shocks
I had previously bought a S10 early T5 trans to run behind the flatty BUT...
with the Chassis Works front end swap.......they actually make a custom front cross member for my particular car. They also make the A-arms to my request along with the rack. I intend on cutting the track witdh by 3" overall.
I'll be running stock ford steel wheels - 16X4.5 along with 7.00x16 rear tyres & 6.50x16 front tyres.
The front frame rail will sit 5" off the ground. The rear 5.5".
I'll post some pix tomorrow as I've not uploaded to my computer yet.
