Hey Andre, welcome aboard. The Tudor body looks like a good solid start. Google Wescott Chassis Plans for some detailed drawings that will give you all the dimensions you need to lay out your chassis design.
The little cream car behind the Tudor body in one of the pix, we got those out here as a Holden Gemini TG. The started as a Isuzu Gemini and were also sold in Germany as an Opel Kadet. The F truck looks good on her gutz like that. Are there many Rods in your area?

Great project, you have started. I used air bags front and rear on my Essex, with a CenPen style cross member up front and after 500 miles on it love the way it rides and handles.

GOOD JOB my friend... Your Ratrod is so incredible... I will do some questions for you, I can ?

The First, Did you see some project using this model of front suspension like CENPEN but on Suicide Axle ?

Thanks you. I just went to there site http://www.cenpen.com/traditionalairorder.htm

printed the pictures and built a similar set up for my front end. My axle is mounted in front of the cross member instead of under it like the origional CenPen design.

 

[AndreV8]

Do you had problems with the front suspension was unstable ? Dou you installed panhard?

No panhard. The swing arms keep the suspension centered.

How about a couple pics of the F100 and the Impala? [dr

 

[DozerII]

Yes I did put a panhard bar in, there was the possibility of side to side movement.
