1927 roadster

Is that a floating spring mount on that rear axle?
So, the axle moves forward & rearward on the spring as it cycles?

Me likey!! That grill shell looks REALLY familiar, it's twin is in my shop..I pie cut angle iron for mine though..

I put the shakle there just so there wouldn't be any binding while the axle moves up and down. It is the same theory as a truck leaf spring, one side is stationary and the other has a shackle.



Tim...ok

Can you post a pic. of it.

 

[Tim...Ok]

I'll try..my computer had to be reloaded awhile back and I have yet to find the install disc for my camera..

I'm kind of partial to 27's myself. I like the way you are doing yours, especially using a straight axle up front.

No problem on the pictures Tim...ok just curious how it looks.


donsrods, I apperciate it. I love the way the old straight axles look, old look new tecnology.


I'am waiting on my disc brakes from speedway motors then I can finish up the front end and get the stearing done. I will get some more pics up sometime next week.

Ah, I see ...
At first I thought the ladderbars were solid mounted to the axle and the spring was mounted with a slide to the axle. I saw something like that on Stacy David's Gearz once. I see the shackle on the ladder bars now.

The fabricating skills of you guys on here is incredible.That is awesome.
I had a 27 roadster back in 2004.It just had a little 305 and it would accelerate so fast it felt like my body tried to run out from under my head when I punched it.
Yours is going to be incredible.Very nice job!Wish I had half your talent.[

I apperciate it. There are a lot of very talented fabricators on this site and I love seeing what they come up with next.

I finally got my disc brakes on the other day, now I have a rolling chassis. I will try to get some more pics up this week.

Well its been almost a year since I have updated any pics so I thought I would see what you all think so far

I like it, Are you going to use the big 5 spoke wheels? I myself like the steel wheels better maybe a smaller tire on the front, but it is your rod do what you like.

 

[rex1927]

I like it

I like your roadster.Also like the big 5 spoke wheels.[dr
Bought a used set of 20`s for my next project(27 sedan).
