i found this in scientific american.




Men living in the Civil War era had an average height of 5-foot-7 and weighed an average of 147 pounds. That translates into a body mass index of 23, well within the range deemed “normal.” Today, men average 5-foot-9½ and weigh an average of 191 pounds, giving them an average body mass index of 28.2,

so the rear end is buttoned up.
filled with oil all seals replaced and ready to go.
front has new kingpins .
11"x 2" front brakes
11"x1 3/4" rear.
we used a master cylinder for a sprint car.
we needed a really small one and this one looks like the ticket.
this payday i will get the hoses and lines and the cars brakes are ready to be plumbed.
i found 3 16"x6" steel wheels that would be perfect for this.
i just need a fourth one.
i also found my dream tires for the rear.
they are for some kind of delivery truck or something.
they are really narrow and tall.

i am for sure going with radials.
i dont want to spennd all this money and time.
just to put tires on it that will make it handle like something from the 30's.
