but it is really turning out awesome[cl

[P ...looking forward to seeing more......[P

ANNAMEL,
A couple more questions. Did you build anti-dive into the upper A Arm mount? Are you able to adjust caster? On the lower A arms, is the real leg set at a specific angle or is that up to the builder? How did youe determine the length and angle of that arm? Or, do you know of a racing web site that I could get answers from?
What is the length and spring rate of your front springs?

Your build is absolutely facinating! I can't wait to see video of it carving some corners.
Thankyou for any information you can provied.
Bob

I am sam.Sam I am. I dont like green eggs and Ham. Just funnin, Should be setting the cab on this weekend. Got the drum brakes tore apart on the 39 plymouth (front) and am in need of some pistons. There has already been a rebuild kit and dont think it worked. Still leaking from behind rubber boot on piston. Any sugestions.

60/70% humidity does happen here, but only for a few days at a time and that usually comes with storms that knock the temps down into the 90's. 40/50% humidity at 100 deg plus is also reality. Just not often.

Nuff of that, want to see pictures when you get the body on. Been followin this for a long time. One of the best builds on here.

Thanks for keepin up with my build and compliments. Setting body on this weekend and hooking up gauges and electricial. Shouldnt be that bad seeings how the car runs great with only the chassic. All brake calipars are on just need to run lines. Right front calipar is hitting a lil , May need to bump bracket with lil hammer.
Got the 39 brakes done tonight just need someone to help bleed them. Anybody got a second to spare. Ready to start driving it to work.

 

[ANNAMEL]

OK! I got the cab put on today for the last time and man am i diggin it. Chop not the best but will pick another cab up sometime in the future and swap them out later but now lets getterdone and runnin. Cab went on smoothly. all welding is done on interior floor pan. Will post some pics Sunday. OH yeh had to jack car up 2ft in air to get driveshaft in. oops. Will change that after i drive it.
