I have a 30 Model A rod project with a split wishbone set up. Now that the body is off, I was able to measure the front suspension for rough alignment. I found there's a 1 5/8 inch front to back difference between the left and right side. There's enough adjustment in the wishbones to make...

Hi all. I finally was able to get a flathead 'powered' rod; a 30 Tudor with a 50 truck engine. It's an estate car; the owner died before getting it all together, but a lot of mechanical work was done. The engine is rebuilt, with dual Primary 9 carbs on an Offy manifold (appears to be a...
