A couple pics of my latest project

[LKE]

I posted these on that other T site, and thought I should here too. Thought some of you might be interested. It's a heavily modified 1924 ford C cab. Spindle mout wheels will be modified for front brakes. There are air bags hidden under the front of the chassis that can just barely be seen. Car is sitting at a high ride height.

Rear end mounts and rear air bag mounts hopefully will be done in the next few days. Everything back here will be round tube. So it is a little slow going

What year of Jag is the rear? Mine is out of an '86 with 2.88 gears. Way to high, as at 40mph I am running 1600rpm. I love the ride with the IRS and 4- 115lb adjustable coilovers from Speedway, but if I ordered a set again, I would order heavier springs. With my 200lbs. I had to adjust the springs up to maintain my ride height. They settled a lot after awhile. Also had to add a couple of 10K shims on each side to get my camber back to zero. They settled at 4 degrees after a few days driving.

Nice looking C cab take your time less stuff to change later.which means $$$ later.

The front end looks awsome but what about brakes? to early in the build or not using them? We used to build bike with no front brakes and I guess i just asumed they were required now but I have a lot to learn.

will you not need something stronger than those vise grips to hold the shocks?:razz:

It will definately have front brakes. Those wheels are not made for them, so there will be more custom machine work up there.
The square tube tie rod isnt staying either. Neither are the vice grip shock mounts.

C-clamps should work.
