Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
I like this. A lot.
You have strange friends. Mine would have filled the interior with balloons and silly string.
Is it my imagination or is that Panhard rod straight? How does it clear the differential housing?
That must be a joy to drive. You've got me wondering how/where to source those widened spherical bearings. They look ideal.
Neat. Any plans to make this smog excempt?
Oh yeah, make some center caps please.
Curious to see how the Delrin bushings do.
Adjustable torque rods and trailing rods (arms?). If so would you make your favorite Sacramento friend a set too?
What are the strut tubes from? What thread and pitch for the insert nut?
Dibs on the M46!

The strut tubes are just pieces of cold drawn seamless 4130 tubing. I single point turned the M48x1 thread into the ends.
Haha sure. I can see how you became smitten when you drove the car earlier
Do you have a manual or cnc lathe? My 1960's LeBlonde only has English pitch for threading.
The panhard rod is completely straight. I massaged the diff cover with a hammer to get some clearance. It was very close but just worked. Once I shortened the lower trailing arms it got a lot better.
Really like the conversion of the rims.
I have had the same idea for some other rims.
But lack of tools has stopped me so far.
Bra jobbat
Interesting, have you got any pictures of the diff cover? And when you say 'lower' trailing arms' you mean the pressed steel arm that mounts the springs and dampers? How did you do that?
Thanks
